use 2.4 only. other than that you need to make sure your router is setup properly if using one. that I am not good at.

What kind of wireless router are you trying to connect to? If it is b, g, or n - make sure you select 2.4 on your vaio wireless lan. If it is a - make sure to select 5. Do not select both as you can not use both at the same time.

Also, check to make sure that you have the correct SSID name and password (if the network is using some sort of encryption).

Should work after these you check and fix those items...
