Right click on the wireless network connection, go to properties, and you should have a list of protocols that are enabled.
Make sure "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" has a check mark in its box. While you're at it, could you post what protocols are listed there and which ones are checked?
You will also need to make sure as always that since it's a Wireless connection you have all of the correct authentication information. I would try disabling the Intel ProSet or telling it to Use Windows to control the wireless, then (with only these 4 protocols on), going to "View Available Wireless Networks," find your network and attempt to connect.
I even tried taking the laptop to a public site to see if I could get it to connect there. It showed a good solid connection but still indicates that an adress isn't assigned to this computer. I had a second laptop which connected and launched to websites normally so I manually input the IP address, fro the working one and tried that =- still no good.
I also can't get it to work even with a direct ethernet cable connection. In all cases, I show that it is "connected" but little or no connectivity.

Thanks for writing back.
The list of protocols is:
Client for Microsoft Networks
Service Advertisings Protocol
Intel Wireless Connection Agent
File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
NWLink Net BIOS
NWLink IPS/SPX/Net Bios Compatible Transport Protocol
AEGIS Protocol (IEEE 802.1x) v.3.1.0.1
WLAN Transport
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
All of these are checked. Does this help?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Yes that is WAY too many protocols.
Try it with only the following ones checked:
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Unfortunately this didn't work either.
I even tried taking the laptop to a public site to see if I could get it to connect there. It showed a good solid connection but still indicates that an adress isn't assigned to this computer. I had a second laptop which connected and launched to websites normally so I manually input the IP address, fro the working one and tried that =- still no good.
I also can't get it to work even with a direct ethernet cable connection. In all cases, I show that it is "connected" but little or no connectivity.
ANy other thoughts...Please?
