internet connection
i have two laptops that run on a wireless connection, and a regular pc. i turned one of my laptops on today, and it wasnt comnected to the wireless router, so i opened the connection and typed in my password. it said the laptop was online, but i couldnt get on aim and internet explorer couldnt be displayed. so i turned on my other laptop, and it was connected to the internet. i re-bouted my router, but nothing. then, i looked at the ip address on the laptop that was connected to the internet, and entered it into the laptop that wasnt connected, and then re-bouted the router again. but it still wont work. i unplugged all of the cords and things in the router and modem on the regular pc, but the laptop still wont work. it says it is connected the the internet and the signal is good, but i cant go on aim or internet explorer. my pc and other laptop are working, just not this laptop. what else can i do to make aim and internet explorer work? thanks so much for your time!

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
I'm guessing your running one of the Windows operating systems, so I will answer it for that OS.
Goto start, then click on the "Run..." button. Type "cmd" in the box without quotation marks. When the black command box comes up type "ipconfig/release" without quotation marks. Wait a few seconds, then type in the command box "ipconfig/renew" without the quotation marks. Close the command prompt, and try your connection. It should work, if not contact an IT person to help you.
