Laptop Wifi Problems
I'm staying at a friend's house for a few days, but am having problems connecting to the router wirelessly. I connect to the router fine, but I can't go online, no packets received. If I ping the router using the cmd window, I have no problems -> no packets lost. So problems if im wired.

disable and reable ur network adapters wire/wireless. If that doesn't work, reset the router and you'll be fine.

Is this a Mac thing? If so wireless security may be enabled. Does it ask for a password? Are you using a PC to access an Apple network?

Every machine has a unique mac address, an id on the network.

this is a router issue not a labtop issue... I've had quite a few people problems like this at the helpdesk. Router just doesn't want to let them on some times its is weird tho. Make sure ur tcp/ip settings are automaticaly aquire address.
