    it didn't happen the other day but its been happening today and yesterday..
    my wifi can catch my wireless signal and connects to it, stating the connection is "excellent", yet I can't browse any sites. It seems data can go out, but not in.

    my other computers in the house that are also on wireless don't seem to have this problem.

    any ideas what it is? :(

    Is suspect it'll end up software related.
    Data cannot go in, have you checked your Firewall??
    Try reinstalling/changing the driver.
    Also delete the wireless network and completely reconnect.

    See if that helps as a start.

    All the best!

    That's the odd bit about computers. They should be 100% logical, but odly enough they aren't.

    My Medion on its first instal (factory settings) actually learned that I didn't want to have the "linked to" bit in links which I set. (German OS, so "Verknüpfung" in German whatever it is in English...)

    So one can try, but one never knows if it actually works.
