    Okay, so I've been fine using ethernet cable connection and various wi-fi connections around my campus. I get up today and I can't get on the internet. I can still connect to the networks, but no internet.

    this is on a dell XPS m1530

    I've tried the troubleshooting options that the diagnosis thing gave me, no change

    delete your network connections under "network and sharing center" > "manage wireless connections"

    recreate them
