Hi,

I've been having trouble accessing the internet via my network for approx 1
week.
I have XP and the MS firewall. I updated MS approx 2 days ago (?) but this
problem existed prior to the update.

When I go to the "Wireless Network Connection" tab and the "Choose a
wireless network" section, my home's network is the 1st one listed. Next to
it, it says "Not connected." However, when I left-click on the network, it
states "You are currently connected to this network. To disconnect from this
network, click Disconnect." Not sure what's going on but I can't access the
internet via this network.

My other family member's PC & notebooks can connect to & access the internet
via our network with no problems. I can also connect to & access the
internet using a neighbor's unsecured wireless network (just not my home's
network).

I tried to briefly disable my firewall to see if that helps, but it did not
(not sure if that was a smart move).

Any help would be great.
Thanks a lot.
