Locked Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Im unable to ping websites like google etc but when i open ie8 i can view them fine.

I took the laptop back to my house and the internet works fine here, but at my grans it dosent load those websites etc when using wireless, but my laptop works fine on both networks o.O Is it possible that the router isn't compatible or the mtu size?
