error when browsing on home wifi: "Page cannot be found" (other APs work fine)

Hey all,
I am having a problem with my WiFi connection at home...I tried connecting to a couple WAPs and have successfully connected to one (it was a Linksys WAP) - at home, I have an open Dlink WAP. I can connect to it with my TiVo and laptop (both wireless) and when I run WLan on my 6700, it pulls the correct SSID and gets a valid IP address.

When I try to connect to a site, though, it says "Page cannot be found" - Basically, it sees the WAP and gets the IP, but won't connect to the WAN.

Any ideas? Any reason it looks to be set up correctly, but then cannot access the internet?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
David

Yeah - I can see the LAN, just not outside the gateway...

Anyone have a solution?

@f5snopro - What brand/model WAP are you using?

Thanks,
David

I'm using the exact same router and firmware and mine works fine. This sounds like a DNS problem. What are your router DNS settings? Have your tried accessing an internet website by IP address rather than DNS?

Just got mine fixed up and working. Seems there was something hosed in the settings.

Here's what I did:

Start-->Settings-->Connections-->Network Cards-->Wireless "Tab"

Tapped and held on my SSID... Clicked "Remove Settings". Turned the WLAN radio off and back on, typed my network key back in and viola! I'm on the internet.

Of course now I can get to the internet, but I can't map a drive in File explore. Tried it both by hostname and by IP address, no luck.

Why can't it ever be easy... I'm still messing around trying to get ActiveSync to work. It just hangs on "Connecting".

Are you using the built-in file explorer? I have no problems using Resco File Explorer 2005...

Just picked up Resco... This app is GREAT! I can't believe I didn't have it before. Thanks for the tip URPREY!
