Help connect laptop to home hetwork

I have a Netgear WGR614 router. My desktop is connected via cable my
vista laptop is connected wireless and both work good. My Daughter got a
HP laptop with Windows XP with a built in wireless card. With her laptop
I can connect to network. It says connected and has good signal. I can't
connect to internet. She can connect to wireless at Starbucks and other
places and get internet. Why won't it connect to to internet over my
network? Any help appreciated.

I have seen this before. Can it connect to another computer on the
network? You have to turn on sharing on your computer to make this work.
Then you can disable this if you want. You could try this script below
and see if it works. Save below and above the clip lines and paste into
Notepad or something. Then rename it as flushdns.cmd and then double
click to run.

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

I had to go in and change dchp to manual 4.2.2.2 instead of automatic.
now she gets internet at my house.
Now my Acer with Vista laptop can't find address. it connects to network
and shows connected to internet. I try to go to webpage and it can't
find, then it shows connected local only. In a little bit it will show
connected to internet but when I try it loosed that internet connection
and is only connected local.

If I did something, it was by accident, mistake or whatever. What can I
do now?

Get comfortable with the basic networking commands such as:
ipconfig /all
ping <IP or host>
tracert <IP or host>

Do an "ipconfig /all" on each computer and compare the results. If all
computers are set for DHCP, then the default gateway and DNS servers
will be identical, and the local IP address on each computer will fall
within the range of DHCP addresses given out by your router.

Make sure the wireless PC's are connecting to *your* wireless router
by setting a unique SSID and making sure they are connected to that
SSID. If one or more are accidentally connected to a neighbor's
system, troubleshooting will be a magnitude more difficult.

Use the ping and tracert (traceroute) commands to make sure the
troublesome PC can reach the router, the cable/dsl modem, the default
gateway, and an address on the Internet such as the DNS server at
4.2.2.2 (for example). This step by step approach is designed to tell
you where connectivity ends.

Post the results of those tests here if you need help, otherwise use
them to figure out what is different and what works or doesn't work in
an effort to narrow the problem down.

Huh? Same as nearly any other IP range.
