    It could just be a network issue. How long has it been down?

    Ahhh...
    If it's only the network connection and is working fine otherwise, then it's probably something very minor. Sometimes computers randomly lose their configuration and need to be reconfigurated. You may just need to take it to Best Buy or a local computer tech shop and have them look at it. In the meantime I would shut it all the way down and leave it off for a while....then when you get home try it again.

    You should contact your ISP and have them walk you through the process of getting back on the network. It's what they're there for.

    Sounds like something similar that happens to us every now and then. Happened last night actually. First thing my wife does (she's the technical one in our family) is to unplug the router (I think it's the router). Usually takes care of the problem. After she plugs it back in of course.

    thanks everyone!

    I found a way to temporary relieve the problem..i had to uninstall the wireless driver then reinstall it back in.. my coworker is the one that showed me this... problem is its only temporary. my coworker said theres somethin thats runnin in my computer that makes that happen. but now thats how i can fix it temporarily.
