wireless connection help

hey, I have 2 pcs in the house and one has a wireless router, and the other has a linksys usb device that picks up the signals so that you can get online, I have been using it for months now, and all of a sudden I can't get online... anyone have experience with this that can help me out? The linksys window says I am connected but when I try to use IE, it says I aint connected, something bout a dns server, anyone? I know its not a firewall or anything on the main pc, because I can still access it with my psp.

Look in the sys-tray by where the clock is. There may be a lil pic of a pc with a red x thru it ... rt click that and select "repair" ... see if that helps

IF that doesn't work, unplug your access point and then plug it back in (power)

Reboot everything...your modem, wireless router, turn off the PC...

Unplug them for 2 minutes. Plug in the modem first let it stop doing all of it's bootup tests, next plug in the router and after it's initialization tests turn-on your PC everything should work...
