My laptop can not access into internet by Wireless. I check wireless is good connection. I ping IP address, send 4, receive 0, that mean ping is fail. I did ipconfig/flushdns, error message came out " could not flush the DNS resolver cache". Now I know I need reset IP address or clear DNS cache to get back to access internet. How to clear DNS cache or reset IP address ?
Also what are you trying to ping? Have you tried to ping your gateway? Do ipconfig /all and see what your gateway is. Also make sure that you have a valid ip address.

Thank you buckethead (by coleg) I did ipconfig/release, renew and flushdns, all there are ok. I ping default gateway, it is passed. I did network diagnostics, it showed IP address 192.168.1.74 (failed), pinf sent = 4, received = 0. But I had other pc with same ip address, this pc can access into internet by wire and wireless. How to fix this problem ?

Are you saying you have 2 PCs with the same ip address on the network? If so, that's your problem right there.

Might be Windows Firewall blocking ICMP requests, try disabling firewall and trying ping.
