I'm back home from break. My laptop (I'm on parent's computer now) is functioning perfectly fine. It even had internet at the school. I had it plugged into an ethernet LAN connection, which worked through a proxy server. Now I've set my computer to wireless settings again as opposed to the proxy server settings, and it's not working. The wireless system is connected but the internet just won't work.
Got any suggestions?

my internet at home does this too, it says the computer is connected to the network, but there is no internet signal. In my case all i do is reset the modem and router, just unplug them for about 20 seconds, plug the modem back in and then the router, give that a shot.

the problem is that all the other computers in the house work on the network.

so you ARE connected to the network, but not getting internet, and everyone else on the wireless network is getting internet?

try this..
Start -> Run -> type in CMD -> Press Enter or Ok.
Black Box comes up.
Type in: ping google.com
if nothing works then try: ping 216.239.95.46
let me know what happens.
If google fails but the 2nd one works then you have a proxy problem and the settings are saved.
If both fail your not connected right.
