No internet access on Sony VAIO laptop 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
I have a W7 64bit notebook, it gets a wireless connection, signal strength excellent, however, no internet connection. I went through all the settings I could think of, still nothing.

Any ideas?

does anything else in the house have a wireless connection you can test? ie: phone tv or laptop.
make sure its set to get ip automatically.might have to check settings in the router depending on who your internet provider is also

I know the wireless works, my tablet is connected to it.

The laptop works with a wired connection, it just doesn't get internet with wireless.
But the wireless connection shows CONNECTED and good signal strength.

I know this sounds stupid but a lot of the new laptops have a WI-FI switch or button to turn it off and on. Try that. Do you have the icon in the tray down on the right? If so right click it and enable it.

check the wifi network adapter properties. if it is indeed connected to the web. you will see a duration period. what browser are you using. if IE go to tools, internet options, advanced. look near the bottom. click reset button beside reset IE settings. if that doesn't work click on start button, in the search field type cmd. a DOS prompt will appear. now type ipconfig. this will determine if you laptop is obtaiing a private ip address from the router. should start with 192.168.-.-. , the subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0, you should have a defualt gateway as well. it should also be 192.168.-.-if the laptop is communicating with router.but, does not obtain a ip address or default gateway. you will not be able to pull a web page up.

Windows 7 has a "Troubleshoot" button if you're unable to obtain a DHCP lease. It might give you an idea of whats happening.

Can you see your wireless router's SSID?

Can you verify that your wireless adapter is turned on. I also have a few VAIOs and you can turn it off/on via the SmartWi Connection Utility.
