laptop wireless connection issues

Hey...something strange has happened today. I haven't installed any new software or done anything out of the ordinary.

Running a lenovo x200 w/ win 7 and a 5300agn wireless built in.

My network is cable modem plugged into d-link router (wpa2 psk)...I forget the model number, 108g mimo.

So my desktop sees the network fine, connects fine and i can use the internet.

On my laptop it sees the network fine, connects fine (gets ip address), windows says I have internet access and I can connect to gtalk on digsby, but not aim and i cannot connect to any internet site. I've tried firefox and ie and many websites.

The weirder thing is I can connect to other wireless networks and get on the internet...like I'm doing now.

Any ideas?

well, for now things are magically working again. Thanks for looking!
 
what output do you get from ipconfig /all?
can you ping your GW? DNS server? ping by name? nslookup return correct info?
what error message do you receive when you try to access the internet but fail?
how bout tracert? are you able to tracert to an IP? url?
