Network problems

[Joshua Smith]

I am currently having an issue with a pc network of about 6 laptops. The
system is a Broadband modem connected to a seperate wireless router with 4
LAN ports. Three laptops work perfectly, connecting wirelessly to the
router. One laptop works perfectly plugged into the router. However I cannot
get 1 particular laptop to connect.

I plug it directly into the router and set TCP/IP settings to "Obtain IP
address" automatically, as it is on the other laptops. When I ipconfig from
the command prompt it seems to have received an IP address. Further to that
I can ping websites, ie. www.yahoo.com. However when I attempt to open my
browser it will not connect to the internet. This is the case in both IE and
Firefox. I have also been able to download updates from AVG (antivirus).

When I look at the network connections it shows that the Local Area Network
is connected, it also shows an internet gateway icon which shows connected
at 1bps(!). I have been unable to get rid of this by running the network
connection wizard as mention in the kb. This icon is not showing on any
other PCs.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Joshua.
