Cant connect to 2wire with Dell Latitude d620
I just aquired a dell latitude d620. Have been trying since yesterday afternoon to wirelessly conncect it through my gateway. I am a bit of a computer newb so be patient with me 🙂 All firewalls have been turned off, I see the signal on my laptop, and see it has sent packets, but has not received any. Can not pull up a page on the IE. I have been googling like crazy and either I dont understand the solutions or they don't work. Any advice?

I did try that and it didnt work...turns out had to go to the router page and do some fiddling around. I had to enter my laptops MAC and allow the device, then go to the browsers internet settings to connections...then to LAN settings. I had to uncheck the box that said "Use a proxy server for your LAN settings"
That did the trick! Dont ask me why exactly, I am a computer newb and was trying to crash course myself on all this...
Thanks for youre reply 🙂

You may have the same issue I had with a Dell 600m. Try letting windows manage the wireless rather than the Dell application. My problem was only windows managed wireless would work with the WPA security, Dell software only worked w/WEP. The 2Wire default is WPA.
