First check following:

• As you are using wireless, check the router to ensure MAC address controls are either disabled or properly configured to allow access.
• Make sure your Internet connection is working. Use another computer to confirm.
• Ask your service provider, if something is wrong with their end.

Check the DNS server IP entries in your TCP/IP properties and make sure the IPs are present and correct. Follow this:

• Right click on My Network Places
• Again right click on Local Area Connection
• In General Tab, click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
• Then click Properties
• Click Obtain IP automatically and DNS server automatically
• Click Ok

Close everything and try to connect to internet again.

It might be a virus infection. Updating your antivirus and running virus scan may help to solve this. Or you can go through this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;318378

Go to internet options and check that the 'automatically detect settings' box is ticked. It sounds like windows has a problem detecting your internet settings.
