I just put a clean slate to my computer and now I'm trying to get the internet back on it. when I open internet explorer, I get some instructions but every one of them I went through doesn't seem to be working.
I'm using a wireless router.
Basically I open the browser > Tools > Internet Options... > Connections tab:
I then get "To set up an internet connection click Setup" with a setup tab next to it. At the bottom I have a Local Area Network settings part with a LAN settings tab next to that. I've played in both choosing all options and can't seem to find my router.
I also tried Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections where I then get:
1. Set up or change your Internet Connection
2. Create a connection to the network at your work place
3. Set up or change your home or small office network
4. Set up a wireless netowrk for a home or small office
5. Change windows firewall settings
#1 gives me what I have above, #2 prompts me for either dial-up or Virtual Private Network connection. Not going there, lol. #3 asks to install network cards, modems, cables... that can't be it.
It's #4 where I'm pretty sure I need to be in, but everything I did has had no effect. When I open it it asks either to set up a new wireless network or add new computers or devices to my network. I already set up a new wireless network and got all the new information down including my SSID name, Network key I was assigned, etc. When I click add new computers or devices to my network, it recommends a flash drive or set up manually. When I click manually, it just tells me to manually input the info at a wireless access point and on each additional computer.
Frustration. I have internet on my Mac and Ps3.
