I can connect to the same wireless router I'm connected to as I'm posting this. The network connections say that I am connected to the internet. Using command prompt I can run trace route and ping any website successfully however when I attempt to use IE or Firefox I cannot get through to the website. Firefox was a brand new install yesterday after i realized IE wasn't working and still nothing.
