DO I have wireless?

Lets start from the basic troubleshooting steps.
Things to confirm:
1. Confirm that the Ethernet cable inserted properly to the Ethernet port of the Computer.
2. If it is using Wireless network, confirm that Physical Wireless Switch is turned ON and the LED is glowing.
3. Confirm that the Wireless is turned ON in Smart Wi Utility.
If you confirm all the above, go for the further steps:
Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver could resolve this issue.
1. you can find the Ethernet driver here
2. Also find the Wireless LAN driver here
3. There is an update available for the Wireless Adapter Manager here

check your router if the mac address filtering is enabled.

use an ethernet cable and connect it directly to your laptop

open cmd and type ipconfig

look for default gateway and type the numbers in the address bar of your browser (normally it looks like this 192.168.1.1)

once you have the routers page enter the username and password if you have one

check if the SSID or wireless name is the same and the passkey is correct and check if the mac filtering is enabled..disabled it and check if you can connect or get an ip address

Try using WEP key encryption comparitively it is more stable

Try reinstalling the Wireless LAN driver

Firstly, are you trying to use your wireless internet or someone elses?

Because if it's someone elses, thats exactly why they've put the password on so that other people can't use their connection.

However, if it's your wireless network you're trying to connect to, then it would be worth using your wireless cd software to change your password to something you know or to take it off completely (not reccomended as others can use your connection). You can put the cd in your own laptop and change the password.

Hope this helpe =]

CompuLayne: Hello bluebells953

Netgear is quite tricky as is with all other routers, but I don't think the router is your problem. Try to do the following.

1) Turn off Vaio laptop
2) unplug router
3) unplug modem
4) plug back in modem - wait for it to boot up
5) plug back in router - wait for it to boot up
6) turn back on the Vaio - log in and see if it sees the SID. If it isn't broadcasting, you might have to enter it in manually and select connect to non broadcasting network

Did your sony vaio came with a cd installer? If it has one, you can use that to reinstall the ethernet controller.
