WIRELESS NETWORK - connected but no internet!

Apr 7, 2005 9:54AM PDT

Hi

I've just taken delivery today of a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D1845 laptop with a Conexant PRISM 802.11g (3886) network adapter. OS is XP Home.

Am able to connect to open network in my building but cannot get IE or Outlook Express to connect - error messages inc "Cannot find server". Signal strength is generally good and have Internet options configured to "Automatically detect settings".

It is not running through a client at all, Windows is controlling the Wireless Network settings.

A friend could connect with their HP laptop running an Intel PRO 2200BG wireless card no problem.

What might I be doing wrong?

All suggestions greatly appreciated!
