IE6 Works With Dial-up But Not With Wireless

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Here are a few trouble shooting tips:
Get to your command prompt of your new computer by typing "cmd" in the run
panal.
from what you have written, your wireless is already assigning you an IP but
we need to find out if its has connection to the internet.
Assuming you are connected wirelessly to your router, type "ping
www.google.com" in the command prompt.
If you are connected to Internet, you will get a reply and it means the
problem lies with your IE explorer settings.
If you get a destinantion host unreacheble, means the problem lies in your
wireless network.
hope that brings you one step closer to solving your probs.
cheers!
