I have a toshiba laptop that wont connect to the wireless. It says it is connected to local and internet but it when IE, msn etc is used it wont work. I have tried scanning for crap but couldnt find anything. there is another toshiba laptop in the house which is connecting to the wireless and a desktop with a wired conenction to the router so i doubt its the router. Any ideas?
Did you purposefully post all those other topics?? or was that a glitch.
Hmmm...odd problem. Try updating some drivers for the wireless..or if you updated, reset them back.

The multiple posts glitch has happened before.
For the wireless prob you could check in services and make sure that the "Wireless Zero Configuration Service" is set to auto and has started.
check your router's and computers DNS settings
yeah i check the wireless config service, called something different in vista. had been stopped so obviously another program is taking control. looked in the taskbar and there was something there and i dont think its working properly. so i went to msconfig to look for it but couldnt see it. It wont be the dns servers as the laptop is set to get them auto and another laptop connects to the router fine. Im going to post a hijack this log see if there is anything wrong.
Also check the DHCP Client is set to auto and started.
yeah it is.
turned out that clicking the button in IE that resets everything fixed it, strange.
