I will be in the chat room on this site for as long as I can tonight as with something like this I would think troubleshooting would work better in a chat situation. I will also keep checking this board.

I am having problems connecting to my home router. I came home from college and my mothers laptop is able to connect, however I am not (I have been able to in the past). I have tried the simple stuff, ipconfig/release then ipconfig/renew. disconnecting and reconnecting, restarting computer, restarting modem and router. (I am using windows 7).

Does it get an IP address from the router?

So the issue is that you can't connect to the net. Because you are saying you can't connect to the router.
Have you tried pinging a few web sites? Click the Start button, type CMD in the search bard, in the list right click CMD and click Run as Admin, at the command prompt type ping google.com and hit Enter. Then type ping 74.125.45.99 and hit Enter. Can you copy and paste what you see on the screen in to a reply?

Can you surf into the router? You do this by typing in the IP address of the router into the address bar of a browser.
It will be listed as the default gateway if you type ipconfig /all at a command prompt and look for your wireless connection.
Are you running a firewall?
Is it ok if you are connected wired, can you surf?

I am not able to connect to the router via its IP address. And I have not had a chance to try wired connection. I tried disabling firewalls and that had no effect

What firewalls are you using?
What is the make and model of the router?
If you are getting an IP address from the router you should be able to connect to it. What is the IP address and Default Gateway?
