I'm having a weird problem with my laptop computer at home. It will recognize a wireless connection and connect to the network, however I can't get onto the Internet. My desktop PC has no problem, and also my Tivo is hooked up via wireless broadband and is connecting fine. Any ideas what might be going on. I use the wireless connection at work on the laptop and it works fine there as well.
