Many new Laptops come with a physical switch that disables the Wireless (helps to save battery power if the Wireless is not working)
Many new Wireless Laptops and Wireless ready Desktops come with a configuration that loads the Original Wireless manufacturer’s Utility at Startup. The Wireless connection can be maintained only by one agent; as a result most of these utilities are programmed to switch Off Windows Zero Configuration (WZC).
Many people prefer the flexibility of WZC. In such a case the 3rd party Utility has to be disabled from starting, and WZC has to be initiated again.
Note: It is important that the Wireless should be managed only with one application.
You can use the Original Utility, or WZC. When one is used the other has to be Off
(Not loaded into memory, and not maintained as active Windows service).
Try this:
Click Start and Run, in the Run Box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt of the open Command Box type, ipconfig/flushdns
If every thing were OK, you would get the message,
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
In addition, the DNS cache is flushed as part of repairing the Network’s TCP/IP Stack
If instead of Successful Flushing you get the message indicated that, the DNS could be Flushed.
Take a look at Windows Services; make sure the DNS Client Service is running.
Also try this:
Disable Firewall, Antivirus, try another browser, and disable any wep security in router and make sure its set to DHCP and check TCP/IP setings make sure its set to DHCP and make sure no proxy server is setup. check wireless light is on.
