Already called Dlink and they don't know how to fix the problem so here I go
out to the user community where I should have started in the first place.

I've got a HP laptop with a D-link "b" wireless card anda D-link Wireless
router. Also two desktops with ethernet conenctions to the cable modem
through the router. One desktop and laptop upgrade via custom update last
night. Firewall, Virus protection and Autoupdates all turned on for both
computers.

Desktop, no problem - make interent conenction and I just unblock the sites
I really trust.

Laptop, connection is fine but packets only come in, not out. Turning off
firewall on laptop did not help. Connection properties shows" limited
conenction" but repair doesn't do anything.

Out of ideas. Help!
