    Hi,

    I have one Lenovo T61 with WiFi 4965AGN WiFi card, T9300 and 3 GB in RAM, Windows Vista 32 Bits.

    The problem is that I don't have Internet access. Show the small icon right don ( two computer ) but show ath yellow triangle, don't show the World shape. I open the Network connections and show: Connected but I am not connected..

    How can do ?

    Thanks

    Hmm this should be moved to the Networking section. Sounds like your routers not giving you access perhaps. Make sure its assigning you a valid IP. Now ill let the experts answer :p

    Did you set up the new _Vista wireless connection with all of the security info, like the security key? Of course, I am assuming that you set up security on your router, if not, you'll be wanting to do that, too.

    Try this:

    If its cable, disconnect the cable AND the router, then, connect the cable, when all lights are lit, turn the router on, and try again.

    if it does not connect, turn the wifi on the pc off, if not, then reboot the computer.

    If all the above doesnt work, just try giving the router a good sharp kick. Worked for my Dad.

    Software gets fixed with updates, hardware with kicks.
