Hi!

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. I have Trend Micro Internet Security installed.

Network connection/Internet has worked fine until today. My network says it is connected, signal strength, excellent but I still can't access Internet.

Tried resetting everything, running the ip config sequence, and the winsock fix(I think, long story) but I still can't connect. Can some one please help, I'm at my wits end. My ipconfig/all info is below...

If it was working, and if you did not change anything, this would indicate that something has happened to the local service provider. Which can be more frequent that it should be.
If the thing says it is connected, then what do you get for IPCONFIG at the command line?
Can you 'ping' any major sites?

In the address bar of your browser type:
68.180.206.184
That would bring up a Yahoo page.
Even if you DNS is not working.I'm not sure what you mean by what does it say for IPCONFIG at the command line...when I type in that command I get the same information as included in my original post.

I cannot ping any sites and even when I typed in the information you provided in the address bar, I still got nothing but the not connected error message.Got it fixed, thanks! I found a site that recommended disabling the firewall and then trying. wouldn't you know, something as SIMPLE as that worked. Though I will be looking into why my Trend Micro Firewall is even keeping me out.

Thanks for your suggestion!Quote
