    can connect to LAN w/Great signal, but not internet

    I cant seem to figure out what is going on here. I have taken the laptop,HP
    dv9000, to several locations, restored it to factory condition, diagnosed and
    repaired, and looked at MSCONFIG and I still cant get it to connect to the
    net. I went to the network shareing center and none of those tools work. I
    would install the updates for vista but seeing that I cant connect to the net
    regardless of where I am, Its kinda hard. Please advise.

    Why did you post the same thing twice within minutes of each other?

    Are you trying to join a Home Network, a domain, a wi-fi hotspot?

    You have taken it to several locations; why??????

    Your post is totally useless for anyone to help.

    is your network access showing as local only?
