We have four computers connecting via our Netgear router. Two are connected
via cable and two laptops via wireless.

Now one of the will connect to the home network (in that I can access the
shared files on the other pcs etc) but won�t connect to the internet. I�ve
checked and triple checked the settings and they seem fine. I gave up and
set up a new wireless network and the other laptop connected without any
problems at all but again this one just won�t.

I changed the IP to a static IP address with no success, I�ve turned off the
firewall.

Any ideas?

Give better details when asking questions, for a start?

Try this, type "ipconfig /all" on a machine that works, and then on one that
doesn't. Besides the IP address, all other information should be the same.
If they're not, well, that's certainly going to be part of the problem.

Post the ipconfig info. That and make/model of the equipment being used.

The IPConfig on the pc that's NOT connecting is:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.26001 (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft
