    What OS are you using?
    What browser are you using?
    Is the wireless connecting but just not displaying the internet?
    Are there any other machines in the house where it's working?
    etc etc
    We need a lot more info!

    No "wireless connections" or no "wireless networks available" ?

    if it is the first then you may have inadvertently disabled your wireless card, many laptops have a switch on the side or front of the laptop to disable wireless. Or else go into your network connections (run -> ncpa.cpl) and see if the wireless icon is enabled check properties and see if "device is working properly"

    if it is the latter, is your wireless networks SSID hidden? if so you will have to configure it manually in the wireless connection properties

    Also follow the instructions in this thread to see if your wireless card is being recognised by Windows.

    try opening 'windows mobility center' and then enable the wireless from there. you can access the mobility center by typing it in your 'search programs bar'.
