    Internet Connection Problem - DNS?

    Every time I log on to my laptop, the wireless is not connected.
    If I try to log on to MSN it comes up with the troubleshooter and it highlights something wrong with the DNS. Once I click repair, MSN signs in, then the internet works.
    Weird, as it wasn't doing this before?
    How odd.
    I am using Windows 7, (upgraded from Vista)
    Any Ideas?

    All your doing when you hit repair is resetting your IP address. If your using a router you can try using the "reset" for 15 seconds (holding the button down with a toothpick or sharp point), the button usually at the back of the router, you have to hold the button in for at least 15 seconds. Unplugging the router is a totaly different option and just resets the IP address like the repair option does. Make sure you reset the password and use a good one to prevent unautherized access afterward.

    I would also try un-installing IE 7 and then re-install it. Make sure you reboot after you un-install the program and then re-install it. (after re-boot)

    Good Luck,
