close. do an ipconfig /all Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address .. : 169.254.106.252 means you did not connect with the wireless dhcp server. If I were to guess you don't have the correct wireless encryption key.

how would i fix that?

Start > Help > Type in " Reinstall Internet Explorer " (without the quotes) You'll get 60 results - start with the first - Repair Internet Explorer. There doesn't seem to be a way, anymore, to reinstall just IE7 in Vista - you'd have to reinstall the OS - but asking for it doubles the Help hits. It's probably an Add-on/Plug-in causing your grief. Start it with Add on's disabled and see what you come up with. Joyfax http://www.joyfax.com/?ref=VIVIAN

I got a message that said the computer may have a bad wireless adapter I guess i'll try reinstalling the OS, see what happenes thank you
