how are you connecting to internet.

modem/router(wireless) pc?

if you connect your pc direct to router with network cable, can you get on to internet?

I had the same issue when I had a Laptop with vista on it. I couldnt for the life of me connect wirelessly. but wired was fine.

what i ended up doing was bridgeing my wireless with my nic and i was then able to connect.

here is a youtube tutorial on how to do it.
