I uninstalled my anti-virus(Kaspersky) a couple days ago because I got tired of having it prompt me to enter my product key and then fail to validate since it couldn't access the internet.
However I just uninstalled a spyware protection/pop up blocker and now my internet is working again! Guess I should have really thought of this before but thank you so much for helping me out.
That is no problem at all! I am glad you got it sorted!
I have learned a lot hanging around these guys (and ladies) here at Seven Forums. Especially when there are so many variables it helps to start at the beginning and check off the possibilities one at a time. I love it when a plan comes together!
Happy surfing!

I am having this exact same issue, have run all the tests, flushes, resets, driver updates...
Just removed the anti-virus software which is Microsoft Security Essentials and this did not help either. This is a fairly new install of Windows 7. I performed a reboot and when it came back up, Internet shows as connected, but when I go to a website, it won't resolve. I can get to network resources just fine, including our own company intranet (which I built).
My next move is to log in under the another domain account and test internet there... and possibly remove my personal profile and rebuild.
Anyone have any better ideas?
Iseeyou did you mention the button on the Laptop to make sure ( Router ) it's ON .. or was there a laptop involved in this ? Just asking.. that happened to me.. after I checked it.. everything came together as we had been trying to get the 2 to do.Well ... you have done some homework! Impressive
The Intel pro100 should be perfectly compatible ...
One other source of problems is the Anti Virus / Firewall software. You temporarily disable them and see if you can connect?
Did Windows use the Home, Work, or Public settings for your network / Internet connection?
Cheers!
alexdwhite,
To help us try to keep problems, advice, solutions, etc separate,
would you be so good as to start a new problem stating your problem, your hardware and your software,
Thanks,

The button the laptop controls the Wireless electronics in the laptop only. It can turn it on or off.
You do have a "Reset" button on your router. If you press and release the reset button on the router, it restarts the router (like a reboot) and does not change any of your settings. However, if you press and hold the reset button on the router for 10 seconds or so, it erases all you settings and returns the router settings back to the way they were from the factory (no user name or password for example).
Cheers!

If you think your connected to the internet and not real sure about it. Open up your Network and Sharing Center. Its usually in your control panel if not on your start menu already. Ok now open up "Change adapter setting". Right click on what ever connection you are using, This will work for LAN and Wi-Fi both.
Now click on status. And if its showing you are sending and receiving "Bytes". But you are just simply not able to display web pages in what ever Internet Browser you are using. (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Etc...,)
This is a very simple fix!
Open up your Task Manager and Click on "Services" tab. Scroll down until you find "WinHttpAutoProxySvc" look straight over to the right underneath the "Status" and if it says "Stopped" in the "Status" column, Right click on it and "Start" it. And TADA!!! It works.Now you should be able to connect to web pages once again.
