[QUOTE="SteelDraco, post: 3870007, member: 359"] Alright, good to know. M... money? She paid for it, therefore she can have nice things, even if she doesn't really know how to use them. You have to pay extra to be taught how to use things, after all. ;-) You're starting to approach the 'burn it down and start over with a fresh Windows install' solution here. It's a bit time consuming, but 95%+ effective in my experience. Particularly with weird Windows problems like this. Off the top of my head, the Panera routers are probably set up to direct you to that web page, and then from there it sends you out to the real Internet. I'm not entirely sure why it would work there, but not anywhere else. Possibly... hm. Pull up your list of wireless networks in the Network Connections window. Right-click on the one you're trying to use, and make sure the authentication settings are the right ones for your router. I don't have a XP box handy with a wireless card so that I can look around and see just what you need to change, but you need to make sure your router is set up for 802.11g Wi-Fi. I presume you're using WPA2 for your wireless encryption, so make sure that's set up there as well. There's quite a few more settings about security settings and privileges. This might very well be what your problem is, but I've honestly never had to mess with them, so I'm not sure what does what. Hmmm. This is darned puzzling, and now I'm not going to be satisfied until I know why this is going wrong. [/QUOTE]
