    I have a Vostro 1400 with Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Wireless has been working fine until I tried to connect to a different network. Now the internet doesn't work on anything except for Internet Explorer 64-bit. I tried AIM, Internet Explorer, Firefox but they still show the computer as disconnected from the internet. When I open firefox, nothing loads and the screen is just white. I close it and the "Firefox has stopped working, Windows can check online for a solution to the problem." box pops up. I'm on wired right now and I still have the same problem. Both IE (32 bit version) and Firefox crash.

    can you ping anything from the command prompt?

    also try deleting all wireless connections, then reconnect to wired/wireless
