ok to get some idea of why t'internet is broked, we need some info...

1. What make is your wireless router?
2. on your computer, if you click start>run>type 'cmd' and press ok, then in the black screen type 'ipconfig' what is your IP address listed as?
3. Are you using any 3rd party programs to handle wirless e.g. netgear wireless utility or is it done through windows?

From this we can tell whether the computer is actually connecting to the wireless router....

4. click start>control panel>network connections>look for network connections* and open it (if you can't see it, select 'switch to classic view' on the left first. Next right-click on your wireless network adapter and select properties, then the wireless networks tab. Is your connection in the preferred connections list? if so click on it and select properties... what is the network authentication and data encryption set to?

5. Because that was a nerdy post, I'll finish on a bad joke.. how do you get pikachu on a bus?.......................................................... you poke-him-on (apologies)

ta,

Sadly clicking Next to restore to an earlier point does n'out...

EDIT: 2. click start > run > 'services.msc' Look for remote procedure call service, check if this is started/enabled. If not start & enable it and reboot.
2.a also check the DHCP service is started/enabled.

DHCP Client was stopped, but you can't start it - it says ' Could not start the SHCP Client Service. Error 1069 - The dependancy service or group failed to start.'
Also, the DNS Service gave the same error as the DHCP message.

3. Yep, same result.

4. 351KB, and the build data is: version 5.1.2600.3394

EDIT 2: Internet explorer says 'Windows has detected a problem with the WINSOCK provider catalog on this computer.' Following the instructions didn't help. WINSOCK status - IRDA protocol is not found in WINSOCK catalog.

Aaaaaaaalso: 'A connectivity problem exists with an installed LSP'
