Good wireless connection but no internet

Question

On my Inspiron 6000 I have a good wireless network connection at home but recently became unable to get online anyway. I can easily get online with a wired connection. As far as I know alll of my internet options are set to the default levels.  Any ideas?

The wireless is one of four computers on the network but the only wireless. It was working until recently. How do I check to make sure sharing is enabled?

is the 6000 a second computer and wireless if so you need to set shared network connections so the wireless can access the the same internet connection Message Edited by dgkpcon on 10-18-2007 08:43 PM

Some resources I have psted are here:   http://willsit.com/resources.aspx   You either have the wrong encryption password or your machine is trying to connect to another SSID.  Might help to reset everything to defaults and start over.
