I'm connected to a wireless network on my laptop from a router somewhere in
the neighbourhood. I was able to access the Internet when I first connected.

Late last week I got into virus trouble.I removed the virus OK and now I can
still connect to that wireless network but can't access the internet. None
of the web pages are found.

I don't know if my issues are with the virus disruption or I have been
'locked out' by the owner of the router. (It seems odd they would allow me
to connect yet block access to the Net).

Now when I run the connection tests in MSN Messenger, I get a message 'Your
DNS appears unable to resolve IP addresses', which would make sense why I
can't access and web sites. I have tried both hardcoding DNS addresses and
my IP, subnet mask and gateway. I think I have tried every permutation and
combination but just can't see any web sites.

My question: Is there any way to determine whether I am being locked out?
Does it sound like I am?
