i was looking for help on google and found a thread made by a guy called loobyloo1. I have alll the same problems ,except i still connect with ethernet cable. I have one laptop already connected and fine and the laptop that connects to my wifi but not to the internet was working fine til about 2 weeks ago ive tried everything and i dont know whats wrong
theres was one weird thing that happened bout two days ago i dont know if it means anything i was doing ipconfig/all and my computer had like 5 ips and most of them were symbols and letters
if anyone can help please do .luke.
What ISP are you using? What IP address is the laptop getting, is the laptop set to a manual IP address? Have you tried flushing the old wireless settings out and letting windows re-find the device, refind the wireless network and ask for it's network key again?
Tiscali 8mb max. Tried manually and automatic but its on automatic at the moment ip when connected with ethernet is 192.168.1.104 and i have tried to flush settings out also. It sometimes says the usual finding network ,connecting, aquiring network address, then connected. But after that, it flicks and goes straight back to aquiring network address.
Thanks for the reply's .Luke.
I just read it and links to why the internet is slow but not why i cant connect to me wireless internet, or it does and i misread
thanks for the replies .Luke.

on the netstat pic does the first two values of 0.0.0.0 mean anything just seems a lil bit odd to me
At Sky when it goes in a loop either the network key has gone wrong or something is up with the config, have you tried temporarily removing all ecnryption from the router and seeing if you can connect? If you can connect try going into the router setup and change the SSID slightly so that you have to re-submit the network key.
Also I would try removing the wireless device from your device manager list, reboot and let windows rebuild it, if it's a USB device just unplug it, leave it a minute and plug it back into the PC in a different USB port.
Also I would look at your Internet Protocol TCP/IP settings and make sure everthing is being obtained automatically.
