help ?- can't connect to internet on wireless lan

I have a wireless lan that shares a cable internet connection that's been
functioning well for about 6 months. My network consists of a windows ME
desktop, an xp laptop and an iBook.
The internet connection goes straight to the modem, and then to the router.
My desktop is hard-wired to the router and the two laptops have wireless
connections to the router.

I decided to run the network sharing wizard on my two pc's so that I could
share the printer and some files. However, after doing so, the xp laptop
can no longer access the internet - nor am i able to share files. I can't
seem to do anything to get things back to the way they were.
The ME desktop and iBook are still fine, but the client XP laptop can't
connet to the internet.

The wireless signal is fine and the laptop is connected to the wireless lan,
just no internet.

Any suggestions?
thanks.

Do you have a wired ethernet adapter in the xp laptop? If so, have you tried
it using the wired connection? If you still can't access the internet, then
it could be a messed up winsock. Try doing a ipconfig/renew from the Run>cmd
line to see if that looks normal or not. I had the same problem last week
with my internet for some reason disappearing, and I got an error when I
tried the ipconfig/renew. I did a google and found a link to
http://www.tek-tips.com/gviewthread....581/qid/346979
and in that a thread a pointer from "bcastner" to a utility that fixes the
winsock. I ran it and presto I could now access the internet again.
