Title: laptop connection problems Post by: julian on October 08, 2008, 06:53:17 PM hi,
i'm too lazy to go & queue at the pc world help desk so if anyone can help it'd be much appreciated... i got a new toshiba laptop a few months back, all was fine, but now when i try to go online it won't connect even though it says it's connected in that little status box on the toolbar. i'm kinda hoping this is something really straightforward - any ideas? ta, julian Title: Re: laptop connection problems Post by: Hairydude on October 08, 2008, 06:56:23 PM I had similar problems with mine-when your saying its connected-is it saying connected to the internet- i.e is there a little globe in front of the 2 wee monitors in the status bar- or is it just connected to the router?? i.e 2 wee blank monitors, one in front of the other?? who is your broadband with??

I know this might sound silly but check your clock is set to the correct time, in particular the date and year. Title: Re: laptop connection problems Post by: Bongo on October 08, 2008, 11:21:36 PM I would never take anything to PC World :)
Title: Re: laptop connection problems Post by: thetank on October 08, 2008, 11:25:11 PM My laptop was running gash the other day and I realised it was coz I had changed the power options to "power saving mode" while it was not connected to the mains and I forgot to change it back.
Ran a hard disk compression before I figured it out.
