ok to get some idea of why t'internet is broked, we need some info...

1. What make is your wireless router?
2. on your computer, if you click start>run>type 'cmd' and press ok, then in the black screen type 'ipconfig' what is your IP address listed as?
3. Are you using any 3rd party programs to handle wirless e.g. netgear wireless utility or is it done through windows?

From this we can tell whether the computer is actually connecting to the wireless router....

4. click start>control panel>network connections>look for network connections* and open it (if you can't see it, select 'switch to classic view' on the left first. Next right-click on your wireless network adapter and select properties, then the wireless networks tab. Is your connection in the preferred connections list? if so click on it and select properties... what is the network authentication and data encryption set to?

5. Because that was a nerdy post, I'll finish on a bad joke.. how do you get pikachu on a bus?.......................................................... you poke-him-on (apologies)

ta,

Wow, monkey, your some kind of weezard!
My dad tried the first suggestion (the tcpip one) and no luck with that. We ran a couple of virus checkers yesterday, and they didnt come up with anything, so no help there =P
Its getting late now, so my dad's going to try the other things whenever he can (probs weekend)
But cheers for all the suggestions, and hopefully i'll be back screaming into your ear in no time XD
Oh, and i'm loving the pokemon jokes. I can tell your searching the internetz for them. Here's a creepy one so you dont sleep tonight:

Why did the pokemon trainer hide under your bed?
So he could pikachu in the night!
