Window 7 Cannot Connect Internet

Hang on, I'll get Bill Gates' number for you. He can tell you how to fix it.

Get permission to use the network

You didn't say whether you were attempting to connect wirelessly or not. Problem could certainly be in the router especially if you're attempting to connect wirelessly. Also windows seven is extremely particular about identifying the network you are attempting to connect to.

Go to control panel /Network and sharing center and followed the instructions in creating a network connection.

Should you continue having problems please contact me, I have a side business selling YOODOO but dolls of Bill Gates. Complete with pIns with any luck you can be as much of a pain in the..... As he is to as.

Are you at a hotel? I often have this problem with my Windows 7 laptop at a hotel. If so, the hotel should be able to help you. They see this problem all the time, because 7 doesn't like wireless.

What somebody ought to do is collect all the handy advice like this one from all the questions posed about stupid ol' Windows 7 here on CR4 and publish them in a 500-page book called the "CR4 Dummies Guide to Windows 7." It would be a best seller.

Hmmm..maybe it wouidn't fit into 500 pages.
