On my laptop I can connect to the wireless sky hub I use and the signal strength shows excellent, but it will only show local connection, I have tried everything I can think of, when I diagnose and repair it shows the message "cannot communicate with primary DNS server", I have tried all the things it says on the screen, to no avail, anyone know the solution,

 

many thanks in advance.

I think your DNS listing in the wireless router is wrong. Correct it and you should be fine....

 

I take it you're on Windows, with Sky do the following on your laptop:

 

CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK CONNECTIONS. You should see a WIRELESS NETWORK connection link in there, right click on that and then click PROPERTIES.

Find INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) in the list > Click PROPERTIES > Click ADVANCED > Click the DNS tab > Click ADD > Type the IP Address 192.168.2.1 > Click OK with everything you see and run a repair again just to be spot on and the new listing has taken effect.

Thanks for the help rummy, but it hasnt worked, if I plug the laptop into the wireless hub it works immediately and the wireless connection works in the office but not at home, also if i plug in the wireless reciever from my pc the connection works again, all above my head, any other thoughts,

 

thanks again.

 

PS im on vista if that changes things.

try renewing your I.P address. There should be an option for it somwhere. Thats worked for me in the past.
