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

    An overly geekified, user unfriendly program. The fact that anyone has to ask questions about this shows what a failure the Microsoft design team is. Consider this: I cannot give feedback about this issue because it says I am not connected to the Internet. Catch 22 all over again. Who designed this mess? Who tested this?

    Yes, it is difficult.  It didn't used to be.  Now, It seems, my live mail has been usurped by ...ack...facebook, another confusing thing.  Mind you, I live in two places, neither of them good internet connections.  Yet, Bill Gates, a bulti-billionaire with internet connections to die for, figures we should be loving his MS Publisher and MS Word online!   Oh how I long for ye olde Outlook, Word, and  the Publisher that you didn't have to be online to use!  Most of Canada has terrible internet--just awful!  Unless you live in the urbs.  I don't.
