Front Row says im not connected to the internet, But I am!

I go on Front row to watch some movie trailers and it says im not connected to the internet, but im posting this.
I have repaired permissions and reinstalled it and leopard.
What can I do?

It looks indeed like there is a bug in the Leopard version of Front Row. I have the exact same problem, after having just installed Leopard in a new clean install. The trailer browsing feature worked just fine with Tiger, in this very same Intel mini, but now with Leopard and with the exact same network settings, it keeps nagging about a missing internet connection. I am using a pppoe / DSL line, and needless to say, my internet connection is working just fine.
But now, thanks to the hint above, I was able to get the movie trailers to work now. The trick, or should I say the workaround was to stop using the automatic setting configured by Leopard during installation, and setting up a new location, with the very same details. You don't have to delete anything, just add a new location and name it to your liking, then add your connection details, and you're all set.
So in short, apparently one should use a manually set location rather than the automatic mode. An annoying little bug really, but fortunately easy to fix.
Hopefully the boffins @Apple are reading these forums, and this little bug is to be fixed in 10.5.2 as well. That is, along with the Mail SMTP bug, which was also annoying but easy to fix, eventually.
