Solved Vista Local Access Only Problem!

Hello,
I am having trouble with my laptop connecting to the wireless internet at home. Recently, a new internet router was installed and since then, I've been having trouble connecting to the internet wirelessly (not just at home).

It connects to the network, but then says that I only have "Local" access. However, if I connect my laptop to the router using the ethernet cable that was provided, my internet works perfectly fine!

The strange thing is, my 2 housemates who use Windows XP and Windows 7 can both connect to the internet wirelessly perfectly fine! My iPhone can also connect to the internet wirelessly without a problem.

I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Thank you.

hey! thanks for your reply.

also i checked under internet options, lan settings, and they are all clear already.

thank you for your help.

oh and there is a yellow flag on one of my adapters.

Could you right Click that Adapter and click Properties and then Upload a Screen Shot

Many Thanks,
Josh

Could you click the Driver Tab and click Uninstall after that Restart your Computer immediately

My wireless works!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

No Problem I will now mark this thread as Solved I am glad you have got it sorted it was most likely a Corrupted Driver

Thank you for your Kind Words and Rep it is very appreciated

I'M SORRY, I NEED HELP AGAIN

RIGHT HERE IS THE STORY:

When it was fixed, I was at my sister's flat (where the wifi wasn't working initially, but uninstalling the yellow flagged driver fixed it, so i just assumed it had fixed my wifi completely!)

but i've just got back to my own house, and the wifi here still isn't working. local only until i plug in the ethernet cable.

What do I do?

Appreciate any help you can give me.
Thank you.
