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,

* Double-click Non-Plug and Play drivers section
* Double-click the entry AFD, and click the Driver tab
* Set the Startup type to System. (if it's not already)
* Start the service. post the error message if any.
* Similarly start the two other drivers namely:

* TCP/IP Protocol Driver
* NetBios over Tcpip

* Close Device Manager and restart Windows.

2. Can you also just double check these files are in the C:\windows\system32\drivers folder?
