   go there and get the driver. they have both the 32 bit and 64 bit windows 7 drivers. You might want to pick up the rest of the drivers too, such as your video card, analog modem, etc.

   1 – open up "Network and Sharing Center"
   2 – click "manage network connections"
   3 – right-click "wireless network connections" and go to properties
   4 – make sure that the list contains "internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and "internet protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"

   (if they are not there, click install, then protocol and pick them from the list. do this for both v4 and v6)

   5 – select one of them and click "properties" make sure Bboth DNS and Internet Address are set to automatic.
   6 – do this for the other one as well

   no guarantees that this will fix it but it seems to be a common problem and it worked for me

   Mike,

   First check your drivers & make sure these are all up to date! Follow these instructions for connecting to the internet using wireless: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Connect-to-the-Internet.

   If you are still experiencing problems, follow these steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Why-can-t-I-connect-to-the-Internet.
