But when I try to connect the wireless laptob to the internet(internet explorer) it always says that "the page cannot be displayed". I also cant connect to MSN Messenger. Again, my pc(wired internet connection) browsing capabilities are perfect and I CAN connect to MSN Messenger on the PC. About a week ago, I did reformat/restore my PC. I don't know if that had an affect on the laptops ability to browse on the internet. I don't think so because the connection on the pc seems to be working fine. Im hoping this is just a case of changing some kind of setting. PLEASE, someone help. My wife and I are now constantly competing to surf the web since we dont have both the pc and laptob functioning! Thanks to anyone who can help.

Another thing to add is that I connected to my neighboors wireless connection with my laptop and was able to browse on the internet without a problem. I think I just need to change some kind of setting on either my laptop or my pc. Any suggestions? Still waiting for anyones help Im getting desperate!
