Could be a number of issues.
Try to reinstall the wireless network card drivers.
If you router supports DHCP (Should be on by default) Then ensure the laptop is set to automatically detect IP.
Do you have MAC address filtering setup on the router? The MAC address shouldnt have changed but some routers bind Mac with Hostname if this is different it can stop you from authenticating correctly.0 -
