C'mon CompCommando!
I am 100% positive I am connected to my router. My router uses my last name as the SSID. I specifed the passphrase in the router and when connecting to my wireless, so i am sure!
As an update, since i reinstalled Win7 last night and downloaded AVG '11, all seems to be working fine. I have completely disabled wi-fi in the BIOS so this could have been the fix also.
anyway, thanks for all the assistance in TS'ing my problem.
All the best. Chris.
