    Internet wireless not working on my PC, but working on other computers


    Hi people,

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium.
    My wireless connection has been working on and off for a while, but now it just refuses
    to work.
    The other computers in the wireless network are working just fine, so it must be definitely something in my laptop.

    I can detect the network just fine, with good signal.
    It says:

    Media State: Enabled
    IPv4 Connectivity: No internet access
    IPv6 Connectivity: No internet access

    Also, in the activity there are Bytes sent and received, but I cannot connect to any webpage either with Chrome of Firefox

    I'm using McAfee Security Center. I tried turning off the firewall, but it still doesn't work.

    Please let me know what I can try.
    Thanks!

    Recent McAfee updates are causing havoc with wireless...remove update or just uninstall it totally and use a better Scanner like Micro$oft Security Essentials

    I have been experiencing the same issue with my laptop this morning.
    After an hour of investigating I have found various people now mentioning some issue with a recent Mcafee update.
    I went one prior on a system restore and problem is now solved.

    Thanks for the help!
    I had to remove McAfee, but now the wireless is working.
    I found easy steps to follow over here:
