I am currently connected to the internet. I can surf the web and watch videos. I recently tried to download AVG anti virus and it said I was not connected to the interent. I also cannot play any online games; it says I have no connection. I also tried to install updates to Itunes and microsoft office 2003, but it said I have no connection. I have other computers that are connect to this wireless router just fine, like xbox 360, ps3, and 2 laptops. This computer that is having the problem is home built and has only recently had this problem. Any help would be great. Thank you

    Still cant connect to certain sites did the interent options diagnostic and gave me a error code Error 12029. I googled error and a host of sites say I got registery errors that I have to pay to fix. Is this the problem and does microsoft offer some kind of registery fix program. I thought it might be the USB so I bought a wireless card, but I still have the same problem. I'm baffled!

    The Marvell Yukon is built into the motherboard.

    Ah - so why the  USB Wireless stick as well? - Is the Yukon not functioning for what you need?

    If you actually use the USB, all well and good, but otherwise, I'd remove it from Add/Remove programs, and also check that this has removed it from the Device Manager.

    If the Yukon is 'broke' then it may be an idea to turn it off in the BIOS (although this may trigger a call to reactivate the machine), as NIC's of all kinds cause strange errors when they break.

    That’s all it gives me are those two lines. The lmhost does kinda the same thing which just list what an lmhost file does or is.

    That's OK then - lmhosts.sam is a dummy file for use by Domain Admins on company networks.

    I'm wondering why you apparently have two wireless networking devices on that PC - the  Compact Wireless G-USB and the Marvell Yukon?
