    Wifi shows connected with full signal but unable to surf the internet


    As shown here:



    I connected to HTC Aria Wifi Hotspot and on the task bar it shows full signal.

    On the network and sharing center, there was a 'RED CROSS' although it said Access Type : Internet.

    After I connected to the Wifi, there wasn't a red cross, it shows up only after I start browsing (for eg i browse on Google), then the red cross shows up but I was still able to browse (only on Google).

    If I browsed wikipedia, then after the red cross shows up, I am only able to browse on wikipedia but not other sites.. Can anyone help?

    EDIT: My comp is Acer Aspire 4745G, windows 7 home premium on 64-bit Operating System, tried window troubleshooter but no problem was found

    Hello,

    It says that you are copnnected to two networks. Disable your other network connection or unplug the cable if you are connected via a wire. It probably because it is getting confused about how to access the internet.

    If the above fails:
    Click Start>Run> type 'cmd'
    In the command prompt type 'ipconfig /all'

    Post the information on here.

    Hi Dave,

    Somehow it is solved by disabling the Network 4 (which is hamachi), but I don't know whether it is temporary or not..

    Anyway just in case, this is the ipconfig after it was solved(or not?)

    It will have been confused to which connection to route the traffic over.

    If you are going to connect the HTC, first disable the Wireless Connection.
