    I have a new VAIO and installed windows 7 on it. Everything seems to be working fine besides the networking. Wireless and wired internet only shows up as local only, no internet available. I tried installing the Intel 5100 AGN wireless driver manually but no luck.

    Any ideas?

    Did you right click on the driver installer and select compatibility mode for Vista? That should work.
