I shouldn't have mentioned the hotel. That seems to be throwing everyone
off. How about in my office. It is a small dental practice with 4
computers networked with cable. I plugged the laptop directly into the
cable modem and it recognized it but didn't connect.

To make it short and sweet. My laptop functions perfectly with wireless
networks, like in my home. But when I take it to my office or to a hotel
with Ethernet only and plug the cable in, the laptop sees the connection
(the balloon on the lower right says so) but I cannot open any web pages
or
download any mail. In other words, it sees the Ethernet connection but
doesn't know how to use it.

Do I have to disable my wireless settings before the computer can use the
Ethernet?
Can I set it to use both, with Ethernet having priority?

Hi Dave,

You might try this... (as it has helped me in similar
situations.)

You may have a problem with "netbios over tcp/ip."

Right click on your Network icon. Choose Properties. Scroll
down to find TCP/IP, and click on Properties. Next, click on
the WINS tab.

At the bottom you will see NetBios settings.

Try experimenting with the first two settings. If one
prevents you from getting on the net, try the other.

'Seems weird, but it has bailed me out of the problem you
describe.

All the best,
