I have a Linksys WAP that supports 4 PCs with wire, and two laptops that are
wireless. I recently updated one laptop with SP2 and turned on the Windows
Firewall. Everything seems fine, however, when the laptop is wireless, I can
no longer access the internet. When I plug in an ethernet cable, voila, I can
see the internet. I have not tweaked the firewall settings oin the laptop,
but I must have something goofed up.

Help, please!

Thanks, Mike. I did go to HP and download the latest drivers for my 9010, but
no help. Any other ideas? And thanks for the advise on the firewall.
