Yes, because your connection settings is in a mess?.
Make sure the machine is clean from both then see these:
Click Start >> Control panel >> Network and Internet Connections >> Network
Connections >> Right click the wireless connection and select properties.
On the Wireless properties click on General tab then highlight the Internet
Protocol TCP/IP then click on properties, make sure the machine getting the
IP address Auto and the DNS Auto too!.
Click Advanced button click IP Settings Tab, make sure the DHCP Enabled and
Automatic metric check box is checked.
Click DNS tab, see if there is an entry for DNS, if you have Auto DNS from
your ISP, then this entry shouldn't be there.
Check in your Firewall that your Connection is allowed and also do you Use
wireless or wired connection?, do you implement an encryption method on this
network?.
If you do try to renter the Key on both the Router/Modem and on the Machine.
Then Open a run command and type in [ you can copy & paste]:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Or you can repair the winsock from here:
