    I just bought a M1210, and I am having a really strange problem with my wireless connection. When it's running on battery the wireless connection works great. However, while running on AC it doesn't work. It connects to the wireless network, but it won't connect to the internet. It says that it has found the site and is waiting for a reply, but no reply comes. I can't figure out what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    That's strange, I don't see how browsing should be affected by power. When you are plugged in to the power, if you go to
    start > run > cmd > ipconfig
    when you are connected to your wireless, do you still get the same IP address if you try it when you go via battery?
