ooh i just realized why so many replies and why you didnot send a mail ;-)

here goes the steps to troubleshoot

open a commandprompt

start> all programs> accessories> comand prompt

then type "ipconfig " without the quotes and press enter

note down the following

IP address , subnetmask, gateway

then type this

"ping 69.147.76.15" again without the quotes

copy and paste the result

yes, because you are having a problem with your wireless connection.

maybe your laptop is not set to automatically detect available networks and the default connection is the one where you used it elsewhere.

just follow the advice of doha307.

doha307, me and you..no idea of what you're talking about :(

sadly, the only thing i know about computers are the basics :(

IP manually... it needs an address or codes or something so i set it to automatic

It can be your router is not configured to have act as a DHCP server or that your ADSL connection is down. Check the router's WAN light is active.

If so you need to configure a IP manually

Sounds like you need to re configure it. Mine is always going down and thats what I do to get it started again.
