I have a Dell desktop with Xp and a dell laptop with xp and a netgear router.  I cannot access any games from facebook on my laptop but I can on the desktop. I don't think it can be the router because I have bypassed the router and I still cannot access the games. So what could be blocking the games?

Also, my wireless connection drops quite a lot from the laptop. What could be doing this. My ISP claims everything looks good from their end but it just annoying. Thanks
