Wireless Internet connection stopped working on my 4 week old Inspiron R N5010 - Ethernet connection works + work laptop wireless + ethernet connection work through the same router. See's connection but won't connect WHY??

Hello,

need some advice on my wireless connection from from Inspiron R new (4 week old) laptop. For the first 3-4 weeks internet wirless connection was working fine from anywhere in house. I have an Eircom 3 MB broadband package and am using an Zyxel router. There is also a Dell Dimension 5150 PC connected to the router. PC / Router in upstairs room.

Normally I was just able to turn on my laptop down stairs and connect wirelessly. Then it stopped working a few ebening back and I have troubelshooted and have been unable to get working.

I can connect both the PC and my InspironR laptop and my work work lap (HP) via etherney connections to the router and the internet access works fine.

My HP work laptop connects wirelessly to the network from anywhere in the house but not my new Dell inspiron laptop. I am confused.

I have ran the suggested troubleshooting software / windows network diagnostics and it did generate some reports / information whihc I have copied and pasted below. In summary some problems it does suggest are below in green :

Has anyone seen this before or have any suggestions as to how I might fix.
