Wireless signal but no internet all of sudden

[Leslar]

I have two laptop computers using the same NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless
Access Point (WG602 v2) unit to access each other and the internet.
Since I have hooked up the system both computers have had no problems
and I have been very pleased. Yesterday one of my computer stopped
being able to access the internet (the other computer is working fine
… still cranking along) the computer in question is showing a strong
signal from the NETGEAR access point but none of the computer's
applications that require the internet are able to function (i.e. my
browser will only return a error message … ). The IP addresses are
being assigned by DHCP and I am able to ping between computers via the
wireless system, I am assuming that this means that the strong signal
indicator is correct and that both computers are getting a signal from
the NETGEAR unit. If I disconnect the internet LAN hard line from the
NETGEAR unit and plug it directly into the computer in question, I am
able to access the internet with no problem. So you might have
guessed my question is how do I reset the computer in question back
such that I can access the internet via the NETGEAR access point? A
little more information I have not added any new programs or reload
any existing programs to my computers. I did how ever allow my McAfee
Virus application to update right be for I lost wireless capability.
I would really be thankful for some help … I have been pulling my hair
out trying to get things working again.


Thanks
