ok so im trying to connect my Acer aspire one to our wifi network and it tells me i am online with full signal but it doesnt let me actually go online. i am able to connect from any unsecured network ( thats what im on now) but the signal is super weak on these and since we are paying for one, id like to use it.... :\i was thinking the problem was just with connecting to a secured network, but thats not the case since i brought it to my friends house and was able to connect to her secured wifi network with no problem. she has the same exact modem and service as i do. my husband spent like an hour on te phone with our service provider and the gentleman created a new network name, and had us go through the resetting of our modem and the computer a few times. he is convinced its not the modem but something on my pc, but i dont see how my pc could be the issue when it connects to every other network without any issue. could you PLEASE help me as i have no idea what to do and we NEED to be able to get online for my husbands school. oh, i forgot we have another laptop that connects fine, but the charger got messed up so until we get a new one we cant use it. while we had that one i didnt care that my netbook didnt work but now since we cant get the laptop to turn on i have to get this silly little thing working. im not sure what other info u might need but i will try that "ipconfig" thing i see alot of ppl suggest to check, and ill paste it hre for u. i dont know what any of that stuff means so its kinda been pointless all the times ive done it.
