Inspiron mini 10
I went to my Uncle's this past weekend, and I could not connect my laptop. He looked at it and got it to connect, but now that I am home, i am unable to connect to my router. All the other laptops and main computer work fine, but I am getting an error message.
In the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility, I click the diagnostics tab...I go to Connection diagnostics. Everything passes but the Internet IP Ping.
Local Area Connection says Network Cable unplugged.
The Wireless Network Connection is connected
the WLAN Card Utility says I have a Gateway IP connection.
Anyone have any insight on how to connect fully or have any ideas? thank you!

Hmm the ping clearly shows that you do not have issues with your internet connection.
So whats the issue again ?

AnthMazza,
The numbers are important. If they're 169.154. numbers, then there is a problem. Most are 192.168. numbers but can vary.
Please run an ipconfig /all log and post the information back here.

Pudgyone,
Its ok, if it was was '169' then default gateway would have been blank.

AnthMazza,
Now try the following commands
ping 192.168.1.1 (your default gateway address)
if success (i.e., packets sent = 4 received = 4 lost = 0)
then
ping 192.168.1.2 (your ip address)
if success (i.e., packets sent = 4 received = 4 lost = 0)
then
ping google.com
*Post the screenshot*

When I access internet browser it says
"This webpage is not available" (any webpage)
Local Area connection has an x and something is unplugged it says.
I tried a system restore to see if was a minor thing, that did nothing. I looked at everything I am connected
Hold on
I normally use Google Chrome, and Chrome is not working...but Internet Explorer is.
So I have internet. Alright I will go and attempt to figure out the Chrome issue.
Thanks all for the help!

It could be your firewall blocking Google Chrome, i would suggest disable any firewall you have first and then give it a try...
