Have you any other pc's in your house that can connect to the internet Via the wireless...
If not try connecting your pc to the router via an Ethernet cable and see if the internet works

Hi

I have 3 lapatops in my room 2 computers are of win xp.... one is windows vista home basic and all are dell laptops all the three are working both wired and wireless as well....I tried with the wired connection still the same situation

can the xp machines get out to the internet? are you just now trying to set up the wireless, or have you had it for a while?

xp systems are working fine on internet on both ethernet and wireless......this is the 1st time i am trying to connect to internet on the vista laptop.....my laptop is only one day old

its wierd that it would block the vista from getting out... did you set any mac address filtering or anything on the router? maybe its just something to do with vista. i honestly dont know, hopefully someone who knows something about vista can help you out better. ive never played with it any, just looked at the computers running it at best buy. good luck, and i hope you get it fixed.

All i can think of is there might be somthink to do with your router.. You could reset the router to factory settings and start over again.. This way it will delete anythink you've done to the router and may have forgotten about.

Your new Vaio laptop MUST have the same setting as the Router's settings.
Let's say that the Router's network settings are:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.210
DHCP: 192.168.1.210
DNS: 192.168.1.210

The Vaio's wireless network settings must be the same, except that the IP Address of the Vaio's wireless setup must be 192.168.1.12 or any other number than the IP Address of the Router (192.168.1.1).
The last 2 digit part of the IP Address of the Router (192.168.1.1) can be any number between 2 and 253, but not the same number as the Router's IP Address.
Each PC using wired or wireless connectivity to the Router must have it's own unique IP Address, just change the last digit(s) of the IP Address of the Router.
ie.: PC #1 could be 192.168.1.10, PC #2 could be 192.168.1.11, PC #3 could be 192.168.1.12, PC #4 could be 192.168.1.13, and so on......
This is called a Static IP Address.

If you cannot connect using "Obtain an IP Address automatically", I would choose the Statis IP Address settings.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

open command promt

check for lost%

if LOST% is 0 then check for antivirus firewall..
