Answer 1

Have you tried connect your laptop to your network using Ethernet cable instead of wireless? If cable works, then it is likely problem with your wireless router or your wireless card or wireless setup in your laptop. Then you need to look into your wireless network setting. And you shouldn't call your internet provider anyway since your other 2 computers work fine.

Sometimes if your wireless router rebooted and you have wireless security setup, the security setting may have changed. Or your laptop may pickup another IP address which caused problem with some program or firewall.

Answer 2

Try going to network connections, and right clicking the active connection, then right click it, and select repair. Make sure the browsers are closed when you do this. Also, go to Internet Options, and then tools, when you have the browser open. Select Connections, then LAN settings... Make sure the box is checked for Windows automatically detecting proxy settings. You can get to Network Connections thru Control Panel in Start bar. Let me know if this works!

For the guy above me: If they wanted to do that, they wouldn't have asked a question about their WIRELESS network! They have it for a reason, don't ya think?!

Answer 3

Well in Internet Explorer type this in the address bar

192.168.0.1

and look through the settings and make sure the laptop isn't being blocked, then get on your laptop and open the internet monitor and see if your password to connect to your modem is correct. If that doesn't work call your ISP.

Answer 4

Check yur firewall settings and also, make sure d name of yur laptop is the same name under network connections on the server computer.

Answer 5

Have you installed anything or changed any settings.. ? If your other computers are connecting it wouldn't be your ISP.. try restoring back to the last time that you could connect and see if that fixes the problem.
