I use Windows XP, Media edition, Network Magic, a fast desktop HP, Comcast 
Cable, A  D-Link DI 624 Router and a HP late model HP Pavillion laptop.

In the past all worked fine. The desktop is connected to the DI Link router 
and then the computer. I can get to E-mail and Firefox fine.

In the laptop it says on the Network Magic icon in the tray that I am 
connected and the speed is 5 bars (it sits only a few feet away from 
desktop), but I can not get to E-mail or via IE or Firefox to the Internet.

I have tried to reset the D-link router, have powered both the Cable modem 
and Router down, have done a restart, but the laptop (with built-in antenna) 
still does not connect, even though it says I AM CONNECTED.

I am asking for advice now, since I have run out of ideas, especially since 
it used to run fine for months before.
