Wireless connection good, but no browser response? Help needed ple

[Guest]

First off, thanks for reading this.

I set up a new wireless connection yesterday for a newly bought laptop. As
of last night, everything was fine with both the laptop and the wireless
connection. Last thing I did last night before turning in for the evening was
a bunch of Windows updates. This afternoon, I booted up the laptop. I was
unable to access the web via either IE or Firefox. I am in fact connected to
my wireless transmitter with an excellent signal strength. I have made sure
that both the McAfee and Windows firewalls were turned off to see if they
were the cause of the issue. No dice. I still could not get a browser to
connect to the web. My OS on the laptop is Vista Home Premium.

Any suggestions?

** Edit - I just attempted to update McAfee to see if it would connect. It
did, as I got the notification that there were no updates available at this
time. Seems to just be an issue with browsers. **

Doug,

Do you have another computer or two already? Do they have the same problem? If
not, compare the logs from "ipconfig /all".
