Internet connection problem open original image

I just got a new HP laptop with a Broadcom wireless card. I use Sympatico Ultra as ISP and they supply the modem/router with the wireless connection. I set-up the wireless network according to their directions, including wireless security, etc.



From the laptop I see my wireless connection name and it says

"Connected" and "Signal strength: very good", "Security-enabled". But I can't get my browser to connect to the Internet (I tried with IE and Firefox). It just doesn't find the DNS. I called Sympatico and they say they don't support the Broadcom card. They suggested that it might have to do with the driver. Any suggestions?

Disable security. If it works then, you have a key mismatch. Mark McIntyre

If it is a DNS problem this may be of interest:-
