1222693 2011-08-12 05:47:00 Hi guys,

Have a friend house sitting while we holiday in Fiji.

Her IBM laptop is connecting to our wifi no problems at all, however, none of the webpages are coming up, we figure it has to be a setting somewhere.

Can anyone help please

Are you saying they are or they are not set to Auto
They should be on Auto
You sure you are checking the wireless network setting and not the Local Area connection settings.

Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings

Make sure all the check boxes are unticked.
