How do I set up internet on my new Acer laptop?
This has become VERY frustrating!! We do have a Linksys set up already, and we just got a new Acer laptop. And it had no internet. The Wireless connection is "unavailable" and when I do try to choose our network thing, or connection (password protected) and type in that password it loads and suddenly disappears with absolutely no connection! Please help. It will be given as a present in about a day...so please respond quickly. Thanks!

I also have a linksys wireless. I had the same problem this is what I did. 1. If you are using the linksys setup stop! you can use the windows automatic configuration, If you left click on the linksys icon in the right corner of the screen and will ask if you want to use windows configuration click on it. 2. You should than see a little computer screen in the place of the linksys icon. If it has a red X (no connection) click on the icon and go to "view wireless networks" If your connection is there click on it and type in your network key and it should connect, if not unplug the linksys router and plug it back in. You can access your router from the internet to change settings and what not. If you type in your default gateway number (XXX.XXX.X.X) you can get the number from a computer with internet access by clicking on the computer icon in the right bottom corner and going to the support tab. There you can change your connection settings. And if all fails you can call the linkysys support number.

I had the similar problem with my Acer Aspire One. I had to replace NIC card. Try connecting to router with a cable to see if you have the same problem. If that works then its probably the NIC card is bad.
