alright so my task bar icon of my connection says i have a good wireless connection to my network..
the lil box reads as follows:
Wireless Network Connection ("name of connection")
Speed: 48.0 Mbps
Signal Strength: Good
Status: Connected
-but it won't let me actually go on the internet or sign on aim or any of those things that require a connection. i click repair and it won't do shit. i took out my wireless card and tested it in my brothers laptop and it worked in it, so it's not my wireless card? can anyone help me out with any info?

sounds like something else is accessing the connection. check any programs you have set to Automatically Update and cut them off. then try again. to test that theory you can go into safe mode...the usual way by pressing F8 and choose "Safe Mode With Networking" then try to connect. see what happens.
^^^this is a prime example of why you should look at your cpu fan every couple months and invest in some canned air and blow the dirt out otherwise your not doing any good at all since the dirt is clogging up the fan and heatsink from cold air getting to your cpu.
@THIZZ I IZ
look at the picture i posted. you should see something similar. all you do is remove 4 screws and unplug the fan(the white tip. just follow the cord coming off the fan and unplug it). Im sure you will have a shitload of dirt underneith it you need to blow out. then go down to your local electronics store with the old fan in hand and match up the size with a new one and line the holes up apply the 4 screws plug it back in and your done.
WOW amen to you homey
i done had my pc case off and see the screws the reason it seemed hella hard was because i thought i was gonna have to pull out the whole shit behind it (heatsink?) but yea if its just the fan which im sure it is if its just those screws, and wire into the board i have to plug i'm definitely gonna try that
thanks for the pics and info imma give it a shot take it off right now and try replacing it,ill keep ya posted

Try this. open up a command prompt (type cmd in the run bar or you can get it from the Start menu>Accessories) and type ipconfig /all
to bring up your ip information
you will see something like:
IP-192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask-255.255.255.0
Default Gateway-192.168.1.1
etc..
now open up your wireless connection properties again
and select internet protocol(TCP/IP) and click properties.
you should see this
Is it set to configure manually or automatic?
If it's already set to automatic, select the "Use the following IP address. What you want to do is use the info you got when you ran ipconfig /all from the command prompt. Except change the last digit of your local Ip address . For example... if your local IP is 192.168.1.4 , change it to 192.168.1.8 enter everything else as is. Also enter the DNS info manually. after you do that close all the properties windows so that your settings can be saved. wait a second or two then try to connect.
