Yellow asterisk on network icon cannot connect to internet. HELP!

[dattabiendo]

So I've had this problem for a while now and I've tried to fix it but i cant manage to do it. My problem is that in the lower right corner, my network icon is grayed out and has a yellow asterisk. however when i click on it it says i am connected to a wireless network and i can still go on the internet.(I am writing this on the computer right now.) but when i go to the network and sharing center it says i am not connected to the internet. because of the fact that i'm "not connected to the internet" I cant create home groups, or play online games. This is really bugging me and I cant quite fix it. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Btw this computer runs on windows 7
