i even try to enter my router information (ip address,subnetmask,default gateway) manually instead of auto..it will let me connect easy,but when i bring up the web browser,(chrome or firefox) it will give the error "DNS lookup failed" and wont bring up any web pages at all.

[KeithWasHere1]

ok what does it mean when

A:every time you turn your laptop(dell inspiron 9100) off for the night,and then turn it back on whenever ,you have to unplug your router (dlink 615) for 30 seconds then plug it back in before it will connect with out giving you the " little or no connectivity" error (i absolutely hate that error!)

B,ti says "limited or no connectivity" ...i keep getting that no connectivity error all the time..and have tried everything to fix it..what gives?

[BravoStae]

What do I do when it says that I have an invalid IP address?

[SamsungService]

@BravoStae If this happens you'll need to check your browser settings. Let us know if you have any more questions. Thanks!

[SamsungService]

@222bleach222 No problem. Which Samsung model do you have?

[SamsungService]

@GizmoTheBlack Do you have the wireless icon at the bottom right corner of your screen? When you open "My Network Places" you should see any wireless connections that are turned on. If you do not, it may be an issue with your internet provider and you will need to contact them directly.

@12345tatis If it does say it is connected, this may be an issue with your network provider. Have you tried again?
