    here's a tickler...

    Laptop can get online when plugged into router.
    over wireless it can't. I can access the router via wireless, I van ping my mac n xbox, he'd I can even ping googles ip address's..
    this is the fun bit.. If I type www.google.com in the address bar I get nothing...
    but if i type 72.14.207.99 I get the google home page. I can the do searches but if I try and leave google I get "Internet explored cannot display the webpage"

    Anyone any suggestions???
    sorry for crap post... Doing it from my phone

    If you can ping an ip address and not a www address then the problem is the dns server. Could be that your isp dns server is borked or giving trouble. I suggest you use opendns on all your pc's and devices including your modem/router as its much quicker than most dns servers and corrects errors 2 like .cmo instead of .com

    Edit, on a re-read I see its only the laptop that your having problems with, just add the opendns ip's to your wireless card tcp/ip settings 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220-220.
    Network connections-->Wireless connection-->right click-->properties-->scroll down to tcp/ip-->click properties-->add the above dns servers

    Tried the above n it didn't work... Still the same. Its weird that I can go to a site using its ip address but not its www address.

    Agree with PogMoThoin, most likely a dns problem. Have you made any changes to your wireless settings?

    If you can't resolve DNS names to IP addresses, its a Name Resolution Problem. Check out DNS settings for your wireless card and/or DNS settings within the Wireless configuration on your router.

    Nope... I had the laptop in work and put it on a static IP address on the network. Done it before loads of times.

    Brought it home n it wont go online via wireless. If I plug it in its grand. Haven't changed any settings
