Hi
I've just been given a laptop by the school in which I work. It has a wireless card with it, and works perfectly with the school's wireless router. However, when I bring it home and try to use it with my router, it finds the wireless connection, but no Internet pages load... I've pinged to various sites and they all work fine... but no pages load. There's Sophos anti virus on it, but no firewall is apparent anywhere (although I wouldve thought there'd be one). I've tried disabling things but with no luck- the people at school told me it should just work. When I log on, I log on to a specific "part" of the school network (i.e. my classroom)- could this be the problem?
Cheers
