Ok... I realize I'm asking a lot of networking questions... but bear with me.
I have a Dell laptop at home... connected to a secure wireless network with a Linksys router. My Tivo also connects to the network wirelessly. Both work completely fine.
I recently got a laptop from work and wanted to connect it as well. So I took it home, entered the encryption key and it connects, but it takes forever. And when it does finally connect, it reports that the speed and signal are full strength (54mbps and 100%, respectively). Despite that, it says the connection has "limited or no connectivity". It doesn't fucking make sense.
My company has policies on the laptop that require the windows firewall to be on... so I'm suspecting that. However, I've connected to hotel wireless networks just fine.
Ideas?
