HP Mini 110-1030 ca - Not connecting to Internet

[alkat]

Hi,

I have recently purchased an HP Mini 110-1030 ca but I have not been able to connect to the Internet so far.

I have tried plugging in the ethernet cable I am using right now on another PC but the HP Mini didn't go any further than trying to acquire the network address. The same happened when trying to connect to a public hotspot in a bar (while trying to connect with the HP Mini I could surf the web from my Nokia E 71 so the hotspot was working).

This happens with Windows XP HE and with Linux Ubuntu (I have installed both OS on this machine).

Did anybody here experience and solve the same issue?

Thanks for any info on this.

Alessandro.

Yes I had a similar experience with a netbook that just kept on aquiring network address forever. I went to the Device manager and uninstalled the wireless adapter. Restarted the netbook and I was connected to the Internet immediately. I hope this fix solves your problem.
