Does the netbook have an Ethernet port and if so, have you tried
connecting it to the router directly OOI? (sorry, not followed the
entire thread).


Yes I tried that and no joy.


Thenyou have one really ****ed` up configuration

Try turning the IP aqdress allocation to 'automatic' or 'dhcp'


If DHCP is not working then there are a number of possibilities. Its
possible if attempting certificate validation it won't get as far as
being able to even start DHCP, and sometimes that option can be enabled
at the wifi adaptor level rather than in the wifi configuration itself.
(I have posted a guide on disabling that elsewhere)

Its also possible that the TCP/IP stack needs a complete reset. That is
worth trying since it won't hurt, and can fix a number of issues. To do
that from a command prompt issue the commands:

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
