    who is your internet service provider?
    does it work with other laptop/pc?

    try via LAN cable?

    go to start -> cmd -> type ping www.google.com
    any respond, if not type ping 209.85.229.104 if no respond contact ISP, if there is responf from the numbers then probably DNS issue

    Does the router register as having a connection to the internet?
    If not, talk to your isp, otherwise it could be the config on your computer
    Recommend the lan cable connection as well to eliminate wifi as a possible problem

    thanks.

    router is connected correctly to internet .

    Signal to router is strong and packets are being transmitted both dircections.

    I think some conifig in windows vista is wrong.

    Will look at sticky above..
