Not finding a connection

[DoritoFrito]

any suggestions

I can creat the connection all goes good but then i cant connect to the internet

this happens on my vista alot but i just set it to work offline then it fixes itself but not on windows 7

can you please explain what application or if this this is an os problem??
what is your Network setup??
Do you have a separate firewall or the default??
Have you tried deactivating the firewall or turning it off restart and check if there is a connection??
please clarify so the community can help you better...

You could try this also. Open the Device manager. Right click your netwrok adapter.
Go to the "Power management" tab and see if the "Allow the computer to turn of this device to save power" is unchecked.

yes you are right i forgot to mention that...
thanks davehc for responding
thats why i asked if this was a browser issue or and OS wide issue...

i tried doing the device manager thing but there is not network adapter to right click so this probably means i need a driver for that
im assuming for a NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller

 

[darkassain]

can you post a print screen of the Device Manager??

davidhc was correct in determining it was a laptop...
what model laptop is this???
if you cant install your adapter look here in my thread for the app DriverMax...
