Damn computer

[veronica_rich]

My laptop will connect to the wireless router, but it will no longer access the Internet or sign up for chat. Any suggestions from those who know more than me? (Which is almost anyone - really, if you're 12, you can help ...)

ETA: Opening the connection window and clicking "Repair" does no good. The connection is strong; I actually have two networks to which I can connect equally well. I simply cannot get online.

I think it's truly the computer itself. It worked fine three nights ago, and then it shut down in the middle of operations (which does happen occasionally - it's kind of old). When I booted it back up, it refused to get online. (And yes, my cable modem is a bitch too, but it's actually behaving well enough for me to use the desktop computer that I'm on right now.)
