    Try disabling one of the connections, sound silly but it worked for me... My wireless was connecting to the network but the internet was not working. So I checked all the network settings, used ipconfig /release & /renew, Made sure passwords were correct, etc... I had a hard time believing it was failed drivers or updates as I have not done any auto updates since my last connections. My laptop is used for work so I'm constantly assigning new addresses and connecting to different networks. However I get home and it won't let me connect to my home wireless. I checked my Mac book and of course no problems whatsoever.. but my dell was NFG. Finally I disabled the ethernet connection. This disabled the internet connection for a few seconds and then restarted the service. I was then able to connect to the internet over the wireless.

    Hope this helps.
