Check 2 things:<br />
<br />
open a DOS/Command prompt window. &nbsp;Then try these<br />
<br />
ping <a href="http://www.cnn.com" rel="ugc">www.cnn.com</a>&nbsp; <br />
<br />
It should show something like<br />
Pinging <a href="http://www.cnn.com" rel="ugc">www.cnn.com</a>&nbsp;[157.166.255.18] with 32 bytes of data:<br />
<br />
ping 8.8.8.8<br />
<br />
It should give a reply.<br />
<br />
What are the results? &nbsp;The first one will check DNS and the second one checks basic internet connectivity.
</div>


<div>
Sounds like your default gateway on this computer is wrong, or you don't have a properly configured preferred and alternate DNS server.

Recall that I have a good wireless connection. <br />
<br />
What do you think?

What would help us most is to supply an IPconfig /all of one of these clients. This will help us diagnose the problem. <br />
<br />
So, go to the command prompt, and type IPconfig /all. Copy/pasted that and post it on EE for us to review.

<div>
Though these were good suggestions, there was no talk of the TCP/IP settings/properties. But that's ok--this was good information

Hi<br />
I can get a strong wireless connection on a laptop. However, I cannot access the internet. I get &quot;server not found&quot; even if I try to go to Google, CNN, etc. <br />
Is there a service or something that should be running but isn't?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Strong Wireless Connection but internet cannot be accessed

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
