    Okay, wireless internet seems to work fine, but it doesn't work for programs other than internet browser, AIM, and Games. For example, I have Yahoo widget engine, and I try to sign in to the Yahoo Calendar widget, but it says no internet connection is available. Also, iTunes cannot connect to the internet to send my workout data from my iPod. Anyone hear of anything similar to this?

    Do you have a software or hardware firewall?

    I've tried turning off the Windows firewall. I use AVG, I don't think that has a firewall.

    Also, I've tried using an ethernet to get to the internet, and I've tried using a different wireless connection.

    So, wired and wireless are having problems? That points to your router. Have you reviewed your router's settings?
