Hey, I'm having trouble with connecting my laptop with Windows 7 (which I have just installed) to my home wireless. I have no problem with connecting it with Window Vista previously.
I can connect to the wireless but has no access to internet or whatsoever. It says "Wireless Network Connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration".
Anybody can help? =)

You have to check your wireless network card configuration. Rationale: Self-explanatory. Wrong setting sure cannot work. Do check for DHCP especially where most cases you should set a DHCP which auto assign IP address. (May not only in special environment such as in coporate network, ask your supervisor then)
Also, try other wireless hotspot if can (If not study tertiary or working a company that uses wireless broadband then try Wiress@SG). Rationale: If you can connect, then is not Windows 7 problem.
Also, do remember to check in device manager see if the driver for the wiress is there or not. I got a friend who is "joker" that has his Wiress network adapter's driver missing and cannot go wireless internet at all (On the school). He is using Vista and all I asked him is to search for device manager for updates....... (And vola, problem fix after installed the driver automatically)
if you have security settings turn on (eg. wep or wpa), you may have to setup wireless connection manually
