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

    The Marvell Yukon is built into the motherboard.

    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?

    When looking in the device manager I noticed that SCSI and RAID controllers had a yellow exclamation point next to it under Silicon Image SiI 3114 SoftRaid Controller. Is this important? I also looked under network controllers and see the one I’m using called Compact Wireless-G USB. I also had 1394 Net Adapter, Marvell Yukon, and Nvidia nforce controller. I pretty sure that all these are good. I did a search for host files and came up with two with folder C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc which were Imhosts 4k and hosts 1k. when I opened in note pad this is what I got

    #     102.54.94.97    rhino.acme.com         # source server

    #      38.25.63.10    x.acme.com             # x client host

    There *should* be another line after that -

    127.0.0.1   localhost

    ...and if you're running with IPv6 installed, also a line

    ::1          localhost

    (how much difference it makes not having them, I'm not sure, since they should be hard-coded)

    LMHOSTS.SAM should have nothing in it except lines beginning with hashes.

    This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

    This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

    entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

    be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

    The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

    space.

    Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

    lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

    For example:

    #     102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com         # source server

    #      38.25.63.10     x.acme.com             # x client host
