    Take a look here (do you use XP ?), the first 3 images and the details above should help you.
    Thanks Seagull. Ad hoc wasn't selected, "Any available was. I changed it to infrastructure but without success.

    I have managed to get it to work by going to a Restore Point back in April (before my daughter borrowed it!) but would prefer to have it working with the current settings if possible

    When it is working, what do the dns servers say.. (obtain dns servers automatically?)
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    In control panel, network connections, your wireless adapter, properties, tcpip properties, I changed it to "Obtain DNS automatically" and this has solved it.
    Many thanks to Albertross and Seagull (are you related?) for their efforts.

    Edit: Seems that if I hadn't found it myself, Albertross, you were already telling me to do it!

    you aren't attached wirelessly, is it encrypted, does the key match?

    Try changing channels on the router. 1, 6 or 11, and check by looking in the router config that the key still matches.
