Wireless Connection Problems with Netbook

[scryer]

Hey, I'm definitely new to the forums. I searched but I couldn't find any issues exactly like mine.

I have been having some issues with my wireless internet connection with my netbook and I am looking for some help.

So when I hover over my Wireless Network Connection icon on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, it say's that the "Network Connection is now connected"; it say's that the signal strength is "Excellent". But whenever I try to access the internet (the homepage being google) I get the dreaded "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I have tried going to other websites but I have received the same message.

I have tried disconnecting from my local wireless network and reconnecting, I've tried repairing the connection, and I have tried switching over to the "linksys" network to see if that will work for me; all of these attempts have lead me back to the message about not being able to display the webpage.

Is there something that I am doing wrong? Or any advice out there? I've tried youtubing the problem but nothing has really fixed it.

Any help is appreciated. And thanks in advance.

What make is that netbook
Which router are using?
Can other systems connect
I've you tried a hardwired connected (if you do this disable the wireless)
Uninstall the drivers for the wireless adapter and reboot the netbook. OS should re-install the drivers for you. Could have socket problem.

Have you tried connecting with other devices?

I don't want to be banal, but if even those can't connect, it could be simply a problem of the internet connection "outside" your LAN, I mean no connection coming to the router. Try restarting/resetting it...

get a command prompt and enter

ipconfig /all​

you should see something like

I suspect you don't have a DNS address.

to test if your gateway is valid, in the command window enter
