Welcome to Techimo!
Can you be more clear on what exactly the problem is? You mentionend being able to connect via wired ethernet on your laptop, then say you can't connect wirelessly on your desktop??? Are we talking about your laptop, or your desktop that is having the problem? | |

My desktop is having the problem. I try connecting for example to google.com . When i try i see that it sends and receives but it cant connect. On cmd i can do " Ping -t 'google.com' " and it shows me the ip address, and the response time which in under 50ms.
I tried connect wired AND wireless. Both resulted as explained above.
Hope that clears it up & looking forward to a response. | |

Sounds like the network is working fine, but the software (IE and mozilla) are not functioning right.
Does anyone else use the computer? You may have a virus or spyware. Download and run "Hijack This" and run the logfile through www.hijackthis.de.
You are running antivirus and anti-spyware utilities, right? | |

don't know that that would be the simple way to go unless it was a fairly fresh install that would be hours of re-installs and updating for me 
IMO troubleshooting is always the best way to go | |
