Ok, laptop with wireless connectivity to the network can get on the Internet but can't browse the network resources on the server. I click on a shared drive on the server and a username and password window pops up. I enter an authorized user on the resource and the window pops right back up.

On the other hand I will plug a network cable into the same laptop and I can browse the network resources no problem, but can't get on the internet.

DHCP is our wireless firewall and ISP access point. DNS is our server I'm trying to access.

Wired: browse the network, no internet
Wireless: internet, no browse network

Hi Andrena
Make sure that you pc has dhcp client service enabled, and your gateway is configured properly.

When connected wirelessly, make sure you belong to the same group as the server.
