So here is the problem I am having with my wireless internet connection.
My set up is like this:
DSL internet from the wall, going into the modem, going into a linksys router. I have a Mac with a wired internet connection going into the router. I also have a Nintendo Wii connecting wirelessly, as well as a PC connecting wirelessly.
The Mac and the Wii work fine, and the PC was too. But one day, out of the blue, my PC would no longer connect (didn’t change any settings the day before). Can I assume that the problem is only with the PC?
The wireless USB adapter connected to my PC does detect a strong connection. I’m also able to ping my router IP address from my PC.
Here are some things I have tried so far:
Command prompt ----> ipconfig, and here are the results (seems normal, right?)

Tried ipconfig/renew and release, /flushdns, etc
Checked to make sure that the WEP on the router matches the WEP on my computer settings (it matched)
Not sure what else I can do on my own without asking you experts! Any chance that it is a virus/malware issue? I do run a Zonealarm firewall, and use AVG that updates daily.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated
Thanks,
