my desktop is connected to a network but has no internet access. other devices on the same network work fine. little triangle appears next to the network bars in the bottom right of the screen. desktop has been able to connect prior don't know what might have caused this.
 


If other devices are connecting to the Internet as you say, then your issue is solely with your desktop PC.

Your problem could be a hardware problem or a software issue.

I need more information:
1) Was it working before then just stopped working?
2) Wi-Fi (wireless) or Ethernet (wired)?

I know this thread is old but I have the same issue. I get the yellow triangle but it says limited access not no internet access. In my case I have to unplug the actual ISP modem (Time Warner in my case) then the router for at least five seconds. Then I plug the modem in then router. Once it boots I will have internet again for however long it may be. I have to do this once or twice a day. I have found out other people are stating that buying a better router fixes this issue which I do believe because I have noticed a lot of routers are only rated to handle so many devices simultaneously. I have had this issue with the wi-fi and hard-wiring my laptop. It is rare but occasionally another device on the network will have this issue but I think my device usually pulls the most bandwidth if it matters. Hope this answer helps someone.
-ISP Time Warner 20Mbps
-Router is low end Cisco Wireless N
-Alienware M14
-Atheros Qualcomm Killer E2200 PCI-E/ Killer Wireless N-1202 2.4GHz/5GHz
