I get connected, but I can't get
to any web sites.

If you are using VPN (Virtual Private Networking) you may
require proxy settings to access the Internet when Wi-Fi
connections. To see if this is the case disconnect from your
VPN and see if you can access the Internet directly. Also if you
are not using VPN and you have proxy settings set, they will
prevent you from accessing web pages. For additional
information see
Turning Proxy Settings On and Off
.
·
If you are using a PC provided by your employer, it's possible
they might be using Microsoft's Winsock Proxy or a similar
program that enforces Proxy settings without having to enter
any proxy settings in your web browser. If this is the case you
would only be able to access the Internet when using VPN. To
access the internet directly you would have to disable the
Winsock Proxy. Usually these applications have an icon in
Control Panel that allows turning them on and off. Check with
your Network Administrator if you think this might be the case.
·
An application may be causing a conflict with the Venturi
compression software. If you just installed an application
temporarily uninstall it and see if normal operation returns. For
details on resolving problems with Venturi see the
Venturi
Troubleshooting section. Venturi is not used for the Wi-Fi
connections but a conflicting application might prevent access
to web pages.

A low signal can cause this. Try moving within the Wi-Fi hot

This can happen when your computer fails to successfully
obtain an IP address. Try performing a release and renew by
s
electing the following from VZAccess Manager's main
screen: "Session", "Statistics", "Wi-Fi" tab. The "Address type"
should show "Assigned by DHCP". If it shows "Automatic
Private Address" you have not been assigned an IP address
from the Wi-Fi network. Select "Release", then "Renew".
·
Try selecting "Disconnect" and then connect again.
I can receive e-mail but
