Hi All,
Lately I've noticed my laptop has an issue with IE 7 when I'm using a
wireless rather than a wired connection only. And it typically happens
during or after I've connected to my company's VPN.
What happens is that IE 7 doesn't load any websites, It just shows
"connecting..." for ever. But IE6 and Firefox work fine. Any
suggestions as to how to solve this problem.
Chris

We can't offer any suggestions until you state your Windows version.

Sorry I should have mentioned I'm using Windows XP Pro SP 2
Intel Pentium M 2.13 GHz
2GB of RAM

The problem isn't occurring today but I have no idea if it's gone away
permanently.

While it could be a hardware issue, the following KB article might prove
helpful:
