MOST of the time wireless issues are with the router, not the wifi adapter. Power cycle your whole network. Hook directly to the router and see if you hook up that way, that will narow down modem/router vs wireless.Take your puter to a coffee shop and see if you hook up. That will narrow down if its your puter or the router. Go into connections advanced and make sure youre not going through a proxy. Uninstall any web "helpers" (really hurters), any more than one tool bar and any connectivity manager or browser manager. Try ping a site by name. Then try by address, that would point to your DNS server on your isp. The intel might be fighting against the dell wifi card. Try with each. Reset tcp/ip and winsock. They will help you through it.
