Wireless laptop unable to connect to Internet

I have 2 laptops that are connected to my wireless network and one will not
connect to the internet. I have excellent signal strength on both. The
message is "page cannot be displayed" in my browser. The settings on both
laptops are identical. Both are using Windows XP. The laptop that is not
connecting does not have any service packs installed yet. Could this be the
reason? Scratching my head as to how I can obtain the SP's without internet
access.

Is work offline checked in your browser?

Could it be your firewall?
