    I have the same problem, have been working on it for days, have no idea what it is. All I know is our other two computers work fine, only difference between them is mine runs windows Vista, they are running XP and Windows 7. That seems to be my only lead and I have found no solution which works, hope we can find an answer...

    If you're connecting wirelessly, check your encryption settings, follow that up by verifying that the ip addressing & DNS servers entries are set for automatic addressing.

    Yes I had that issue, windows xp and sometimes win 7 will identify your security (set for AES and TKIP WPA2 as as WPA encription and will connect but fail to properly identify itself, resulting in a "connected" but no access" situation. in your devices make a maual input rigth click on networks and select "advanced" and select the matching encryption to your router. and try again
