Hello, for the past few days my laptop has been unable to access the internet or MSN or anything that involves a network connection. However, I am properly connected to my network cable and my computer recognizes it too, but as soon as I try to go online, it doesn't work. Additionally, all the other computers in my house work with the same router and they don't have this issue. Moreover, I can connect everywhere else but at home. Please help me.
Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7.0

It might be a driver issue.
Right-click on My Computer > Hardware tab > Device Manager.
Then click on Network adapter and tell me what you see. -
Just open Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, open the Connections tab, click on LAN Settings, and if the box "Use a proxy server for your LAN" is checked, uncheck it and click OK.

Click Start > Run and type ping google.com and press Enter (to see if there is a connection on your computer)
If you receive an error message (...could not find host something...), and you have correctly entered the command above, it means you are not (or at least not properly) connected to the Internet.
If you get something like Reply from something: x ms, it means you are indeed connected. -
In the network card tab, do you see something like an exclamation mark with a yellow point?
