Well, where to start. In a nutshell i can connect to my wifi but have no internet access, yet my families cell phones and other PC's can. I looked on the forum and couldn't find a solution, i tried ipconfig /*option here* and no luck. Uninstalled my security program on the computer *Symantec Endpoint Protection* and also disabled firewall and still can only connect to wifi and not the internet. As a move of extreme desperation i even had every thing that used wifi off and restated the router/reinstalled it again. Really need help.

You're not getting an IP address from the router's DHCP server. Check and make sure MAC filtering isn't enabled on the router.

You're not getting an IP address from the router's DHCP server. Check and make sure MAC filtering isn't enabled on the router. How exactly would i do that?

Netgear has made a lot of different models of routers over the years, with a lot of different firmware versions... An educated guess would put it under Devices or possibly LAN Setup (unlikely but possible). It may be called MAC Filtering or Allowed Devices or some such. Check for documentation/setup instructions for your router model and version on Netgear's website.

1.Determine whether your network access is functioning properly (that you can reach local network resources and the Internet). If you are using a broadband Internet and Windows XP Service Pack 2, this message is often a false error report. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article 892896 for details on how to work around this error appropriately. If your network access is non-functional. continue to the following steps. 2.If your computer connects to the network through a broadband router , resetting (powering off and on) the router may resolve the issue. If not using a broadband router, or if resetting your router only temporarily resolves the issue and the error message re-appears later, continue to the following steps. 3.If connecting to your network using Wi-Fi and using wireless security, your WEP or other security key may not be set properly. Check the wireless security configuration on your computer's network adapter and update if it necessary. 4.If connecting to your network using an Ethernet cable, your cable may have failed. Temporarily replace your network cable with a new one to determine whether this resolves the issue. 5.If using a broadband router and DHCP on your network, check your computer's IP address to verify it is valid and not a private address that starts with 169.254. An invalid address of the form 169.254.x.x signifies your computer's inability to obtain a usable IP address from your router. To resolve DHCP configuration problems, proceed to the following steps. 6.Reboot your computer, router (if present) and broadband modem together, then re-test your connection. 7.If your connection remains non-functional, run the Windows Network Repair utility on your computer. 8.If your connection remains non-functional, update your router settings to change from dynamic to static IP address configuration, and set an IP address on the computer appropriately. 9.If your connection remains non-functional, unplug your router and connect the computer directly to your broadband modem. If this configuration is functional, contact the manufacturer of your router for additional support. 10.If your computer is connecting to your network directly through a broadband modem, or if your Internet access remains non-functional after following the instructions above, contact your Internet provider for support.

I think i do have a private address, ho do i solve this in depth but noob friendly?

You don't have a private IP address - you don't have any IP address and this is the problem. For some reason your computer isn't receiving an address from the router's DHCP server. Since the hardware appears to be on and working (otherwise it wouldn't show in the IPCONFIG /ALL results) the problem lies in your wireless connection to your router. You said other devices can connect, so this points to a configuration issue. It may be a problem with Windows, or it may be a problem with the router. My bet's on the router. Is the network showing up as available to your computer? Do you get any messages when you try to connect or is the connection just rejected out-of-hand? To check if the network is available hover your mouse cursor over the wireless network bars in the system tray. It will say if networks are available or not. If they are, click on the icon then click the Connect button for your network. What happens? What messages, if any, are displayed?
