[mmarwan1]

hello
well i really wish you can hep with this

i got a new sony vaio laptop(windows 7 ) and i already have an old compaq one(windows xp) .

I got internet at home via the wifi from someone i don't know and it is going great on the old compaq, but when i connect the new sony one it shows the connection and connects but says limited connectivity and i can't open any web page (sometimes it let me opens the pages for like one minute then no web pages will load)even though when i connect the new one to the university connection it works great.

Plus when i connect them both to the home internet in the same time , no web pages opens on both
Please help me ,and don't tell me reset the router or modify its settings cause i can't do that , i don't know even the person i am getting internet from all i know is that i connect to something called linksys
Thank a lot

You don't have to tell us that you can't configure your wireless. We already know that. But, what all of that has to do with -YOUR router-. Wait, it doesn't. And, Linksys is the manufacturer brand of your neighbor's router or whatever he was.
Furthermore, you have a router at your place. Connect to it. If you don't know we will help you .

Mate that's not a problem, that's common sense. In your university you are connecting to your UNIVERSITY's connection.

The best advice for you is to get an internet connection. If you need anything else let me know.

neoxter yes i can see that and i live in canada

P337 i dont have any router in my place

whenever i connect other laptops then my Sony , everything works perfectly ....so i am sure it is something that has to be done with its settings.Btw i connect to an unsecure network ,,,,it is an open connection
thank you again

He is connecting to a connection with no security, lovely...That's Why he can't do anything...

well i didn't really undertand what you mean ...anw smtg i think similar happened to me ..i bought an hp laptop and i have 2 other pcs in my house....they were working fine on my linksys router....but when i turn on the new hp laptop the cnx stops on all pcs....i tried reseting the router and all those but it didn't work....so i bought a new tp-link router and everything now is working fine....
