hum; do you have the wireless router or are you accessing some unknown network?

NORMALLY; we create the physical network like:
Code:
modem--wired--router --wired--system
and configure the wireless feature SSID and the encryption type (wep/wpa)
and define OUR OWN passphrase. Then we swap to a network like:
Code:
modem--wired--router--(wireless)--system(s)
and then connect to OUR SSID and enter the passphrase we created ourselves.

start with the first-wired network. power off the router, wait 1 minute and then
power it back up.

test your TCP configuration;
run->cmd /k ipconfig /all
