Connected, but can't reach the internet!

My laptop connects perfectly with the internet through the Belkin router when
it's hard wired in and it obtains the DNS address automatically, but when I
try to use it wirelessly, it can't obtain a DNS address. If I allocate one,
it connects to the network but refuses to access the internet.
It has worked in the past without problem, so I'm guessing some setting has
been changed - anyone got any ideas?

Check the Wireless card hardware related and tcp/ip settings.
Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager.
Make sure that the Network Card drivers are installed correctly; I.e. there
is No IRQ conflict, and No Ghost installation.

Step Two. Verify Basic network setting in the OS:

Auto Obtain).
As for the Wireless Settings. may be this can Help.

I tried all of those suggestions, but none seemed to solve it. As a result of
trying them, I was confident everything was working correctly and it was a
setting problem somewhere in the router, so I made yet another call to Belkin
support, and eventually, after a second hour long call I got someone who was
able to sort it.
Most of the things he suggested, I'd already tried, other than changing to
channel 6, and changing from WPA-WSK encryption to 64 bit WEP. Whatever the
problem was, it's sorted now, so thanks for your help in making sure it
wasn't a hardware problem.
