Hi all,
sorry if this question has been asked before, but I'm currently connected
using 46 Kbit/s, so it's kinda slow to browse all entries.
I want to connect to a hotspot from my hotel (in Germany). The wireless
netwrok card finds the hotspot and connects with excellent quality. But I
can't access the internet (not even the login site of the provider). When I
check the status of the network connection it shows many bytes sent, but
only a few received. This doesn't change when I try to open an internet
site.
Hardware:
I'm using a laptop running Win XP Home and tried using a sitecom wireless PC
card adapter (100 MB) as well as a T-Sinus 111 data USB to connect.
Historie:
I've already managed to connect to this hotspot with the same hardware
(sitecom) from the same room in the hotel a few weeks ago. Then I updated my
laptop with WIN XP SP2 ( I know it's stupid, but it happened) and the
problems started. Now I uninstalled SP2 but the problem still exists.
What is the problem? What can I do besides reinstall the whole system? I've
tried to reinstall the network cards, the Windows firewall is deactivated,
I've no idea what else I can try :-(
Your answers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dominik
