I am receiving the error code 0x2afc when trying to connect to the internet via a wireless laptop. I have tried just about everything I know and now am stumped.

Are you getting connectivity to the wireless router/ap? At what point do you get the error, and what is the exact error message? "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown

I believe I am connecting to router. When I try to connect to the internet, the page displays Internet Explorer cannot display webpage. I then run "Diagnose Connection Problems" and end up with the follow from the event log.

I am not sure at this point if I am getting to the router. I just tried to print something (my printer is networked) and I could not send to the printer. I was able to send from another computer (wired to the router).

Too much information in that one post to read. A simple ipconfig /all would suffice. "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown
