Acer Ferrar 3200

I have a Ferrari 3200 running XP Home and a Netgear DG834PN wireless router.
I have been able to connect wirelessly to the router for some time but
reasently it just refuses to connect.

The Laptop will pick up an IP using DHCP from the router however will not
ping the gateway or browse the internet.

The firewall is off on the laptop and the router is open and allows another
Acer Tarvelamte laptop to connect perfectly.
Afer messing around I disabled the Local Network connection and the wireless
worked perfectly. The problem I have here is that when I use my laptop at
work I want to use the LAN and not WLAN and disabling the LAN each time I
want to use the wireless seems a bit of a pointless task!!!

Can any 1 help me with this problem. Any thing would be appreciated

Thanks in advanced
