Limited Access Broadband

What does it mean when I get a yellow exclamation mark on my internet icon, and a message saying

"connected to Linksys. Limited access"

It is happening more and more often (every few minutes) and is a pain, because basically I am offline, and then it goes away all by itself. Linksys is my router and I'm with Virgin Large (10mg) broadband. What is at fault: my laptop, router or Virgin?

Thanks

    Probably means that the router isn't properly connected to the internet.
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.

    Wireless? Sounds like a problem with the wireless link between the laptop and the router. Have you tried changing the channel?
