it was the router!!!!! it had two wpa-psk keys. one gave me full access and
the other was guest access, which allows internet access only. i was using
the guest access key and not the full access key. punched in the new key
everything worked straight away.
thanks for your input though.

cheers steve

I have a case. My wireless worked for a while. One it stopped to work. After I reset the router, it works as before.

I have 2-Vista machines with me now. I am also having same experience. I am
not able to connect to Internet.

I tried disabling IPv6 option. But it didn't help at all. I am checking with
our Network Admin Team, the Router with SIP Enabled is causing the problem
and can we disable it and see what happens.

Thanks,
Vikas.
