Hi bdman32,
Try removing all network profiles, re-add your own SSID (wireless network) with the correct encryption.
Wireless Network - Remove
Make sure that 'Obtain DNS Server address automatically' in your wireless setting is set to auto.

thanks for your help but, i tried that but it did not work
bdman32,
That "connected" simply means that you are connected to the router.
I get that quite frequently when when a password is also required.
What do you see if you go to a command prompt and type NSLOOKUP
What type of Security of Firewall Software do you have, completely disable it for now, see if that's the issue.
You might want to post an ipconfig /all output for review.
ip config is as follows

bdman,
You might want to run ipconfig /alll again but this time type:
IPCONFIG /ALL > ipconfig.txt
Now you have the output of ipconfig /all in a text file and you won't have to worry about info being truncated.
thanks guys, for your help, i had to wipe my comp for antother reason so it fixed it
thanks for your help
