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
I say what I like, I like what I say!

    Hi There

    What is the ipconfig output from the machines that cannot connect.

    Start then Run then CMD and press enter

    Then type ipconfig and press enter

    Hi
    The two number strings given above.

    It is the one ending 07 that's attached to the WLAN

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking me it says:

    Wireless Lan Adapter etc
    Link-local IPv6 address fe89::b1a0:8d90:e9b9:a958%12
    IPv4 address 192.168.01
    Subnet mask 255.255.2550
    Default gateway 192.168.0.1

    Thanks

    OK your DNS server entry for the wlan adaptor is wrong

    Do ipconfig /release then

    ipconfig /renew
