    I've suddenly had an issue with my wifi - when I log on, I connect just fine, but there's no internet connection. When I plug in through my ethernet port to the router, it works just fine, but the wireless connection just won't connect to th internet.

    I accidentally found a solution that I've tested a couple times:

    Network and Sharing Centre->View Network Devices->Home.Gateway (right click)->Enable

    I'm glad that I can get it working, but it's a pain to do every time I log on - anyone know how to fix it?

    I think it might have happened directly after installing starbase01.com's IPX/SPX protocol (which I've since uninstalled)

    Cheers in advance for any help.
