Connection Problems

    Hi all,
    just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this problem I'm having.

    I have eircomBB with a Wireless network set up. My PC is downstairs with the router and with direct connection to the LAN there is absolutely No problem browsing the web! My problem is that on my Laptop I cannot browse! I can listen to some Shoutcast channels with Winamp, Limewire file sharing works, Thunderbird Email works, ping and tracert work.

    But every time I try to open a webpage with Firefox or IE I get the "cannot establish connection to" blah,blah! :mad:

    I have Norton Internet Security and I can't see this as being a problem as when I disable it I get the same problem!

    What is really p**sing me off is that I have never had this problem before, having had this setup since August '04. And I was browsing the web up until last nite at about 12am. :D

    Have tried to reset/reconfig the router, but no luck. Have also connected the Laptop directly to the router and still the exact same problem. Everything seems to work except browsing!! :confused:

    Any insight would be appreciated,
    Evan



    UPDATE: After several restarts(about 5), it's working again! Still for the life of me can't figure out what went wrong! So anyone with anything to add, please feel free...
