westleyc,

 

Places to look to see if your Connection is enabled

 

Did you recently install/reinstall the opertaing system?

 

Did you try reading...

Software Updates Causes Wireless Connectivity Issue Or Unable to Connect to Internet

 

Can you run Finding System Information REMOVE YOUR PRODUCT ID, if using XP, run an ipconfig /all log and post it back here.

 

What virus program and firewall are you using?

westleyc,

 

I have seen AVG cause some connection problmes, so let's not rule that out.

Power off your ISP modem/router and your wireless router(if any) for 30 seconds. Then power on the ISP modem/router. Wait 15 seconds, then power on the wireless router(if any)

Restart the computer and try to connect.

What happens?

 

Places to look to see if your Connection is enabled

 

Try reading...

Intel® WiFi Products — Power Save Polling (PSP) causes connection issues with some access points

 

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Create a Power Plan

Select High performance.

Start, control panel, device manager. Click on Network and then right click on your wireless adapter, left click properties, power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.

Intel ~ Recommended settings for 802.11n connectivity
