Hi Myke, Sorry about any confusion, when I mentioned that these websites work from internet cafes I meant from their computers not my laptop. Just moved furhter south in Argentina to Bariloche and staying at a small hotel that has internet computers but no wifi, they said I could unplug the network cable from one of their destop internet computers and plug that into my laptop and this works totally fine, so the problem is wifi specific (and anything which may specifically interfere with wifi such as firewalls). Are there any settings I should be aware of on my laptop in windows vista that should be turned on or off (I am not an expert and am regretting selling my 3 yr old xp-laptop for a vista laptop). Mike thanks very much for your help so far, any magic you can create with my laptop will be very much appreciated. Cheers, Adrian

Hi Myke, I have exactly the same problem connecting to wifi at internet cafes on my laptop as I do at any other wifi network. Extra Info: The inbuilt Vista Diagnostics says that my computer: ¨Cannot Commincate with Primary DNS Server 216.230.128.38¨ Also, Just updated the wireless network driver today, still same probs. Thanks Mike, hope this assists you in helping me¨. Cheers, Adrian

Hello, Problem with WIFI connecting to most internet sites. I bought a new Acer Aspire 3680-2682 in Los Angeles 5 months ago, in LA and as far South as Guatemala wifi worked perfectly. 3 months ago in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and now in Argentina wifi will only connect to major internet sites, this means most local internet sites in those countries do not work and most smaller internet sites do not work ex. craigslist.org does not work, however these sites do work from the internet cafe across the road from the hostel I am staying at. I have installed the latest FOXFIRE AND INET EXPLORER and they both do the same thing, they will not connect to most sites. Hotmail works fine, Google works fine and so most of the MASSIVE websites work fine also. The laptop is using 802.11b/g wireless lan. I have also removed the standard Nortons Anti Virus and installed AVG free edition. I have tried with windows firewall turned on and off and still same result. Can anyone help me with this problem please? Thanks, Adrian australian currently in argentina.
