    When I brought my new Laptop to a Library today that has wireless,I turned on the wireless switch,the Library Wireless isp showed up on my wireless Window as being connected,and running at top speed 54.
    But when I tried to get on internet using 3 differant Web Browsers including internet exployer, I counl,t get on the internet.
    I checked the instructions from the Library,and they were OK.
    What could have been wrong,is there something that I didnt do?
    There were 4 other wireless isps also listed in Wireless window.
    I truly would appreciate everyones help[ :(]

    It's possible that you were connected, to a bridge or something else that wouldn't let you out. With out looking at it, there isn't too much I can guess, I would think the best bet would be to have someone at your library help you set it up.
