Lost internet connection but can access router

[alexisbatman]

Hi,

My Media Centre PC has stopped connecting to the internet. It connects wirelessly through

the router but I cant download any content/view webpages.

Router is a Linksys WAG54GS with latest firmware. The laptop Im using to right this post is

connected wirelessly and has no connection issues.

The Media Centre PC wireless link is supplied by an Edimax EW-7318Ug USB pen. I have used the latest drivers from the website but this has changed nothing.

IP config settings are below, Local area connection 3 adapter is not in service and isn't meant to be. This connection is generate by my pinnacle TV card which is not currently being used so you can ignore it.

Please advise.

Alex

Are other machines able to connect to the internet via the router? If not, have you tried connecting the laptop directly to the modem, thereby bypassing the router?

yes, other machines can connect.

Hey man, Ive worked with DOS. I played Monkey Island 2. That said, I was like 14 and had no idea how to put dos to good use but anyway...

Tried pinging google.com in cmd but no luck. Also switch USB ports.
