Wireless Connection - IP Address problem

Hi
Bought a new Sony laptop a few weeks ago set up LAN &WLAN connections no problem. Went away for Xmas and took laptop with me - again no problem connecting to brother's wireless internet.
Have now come home and can't connect to my own wireless internet. LAN connection ok but wireless just won't work.
When both are on and I look at attached devices in router I see two connections and two IP addresses
192.168.0.3 - this is the wired connection
192.168.0.7 - this is the ip associated with the wireless connection.
Have I some sort of ip address conflict? If so, how can I clear this?
Thanks

OK your DNS server entry for the wlan adaptor is wrong
Do ipconfig /release then
ipconfig /renew
