Windows 7 Help! Internet wireless connection "connects" but no internet access

[ILoveKnowledge]

Hi all! I was installing a software on my other laptop (it had SQL software with it) and I ran into some trouble as I got error problems that the installation of the software had failed and now whatever I do, I can't access the web! Sure enough, my wireless connection connects successfully and it indicates that I am on the "Internet" but every time I try to use either firefox or internet explorer to go to a web site, it says I don't have a connection. It is extremely
odd and I don't know what it might be...

Hopefully someone can help me out with this. Thank you ahead of time for your assistance.

Good to hear that you managed to resolve you issue and found a solution somewhere, even if it wasn't here.
Thanks for posting back and updating your thread with the solution that worked for you.
That's kind of a solution of last resort, but as long as it got the job done, that's the main thing.
Good job and thanks again.
