WIFI internet gone t!ts up - Help Required

Right just cant get my head arround this one even though I should be able to sus it.

Backgound

2 XP computers sharing a bt broadband connection via belkin WIFI router all been working OK for approx 2 years until yesterday.

Computer 1 works fine and connects to WWW OK.

Computer 2 connects to the WIFI network gets DHCP address will connect and download ( non openworl ) mail but will not connect via BT openworld logon.

when I got there found that the DNS service was stopped so 'Restarted that' but still wouldnt connect

SO I have tried the following :-

1 Restarted router - OK
2 Checked PC for viruses - Non Found.
3 Restarted PC - OK
4 Tried to connect to router HTTP setup page - Fail
5 Changed DHCP - No Change
6 Connected to shared folder on other PC - OK
7 Downloaded/installed Firefox attemt to connect to WWW - Fail
8 Cleared Temp WWW cache - OK
9 Tried conectiong using Known working Yahoo Logon ( from other PC ) - failed
10 'Repaired' WIFI Connection - OK

And still the bu66er wont conect to the WWW

But Intestingly

Booted PC intoSafe Mode with networking ( conects to WWW fine).

Going to check with Hardwired cable

But its got me completly stumped must be missing somthing any ideas where to go next ?

Regards

Go to command line (cmd)

Type the following 2 lines exactly as shown

telnet www.yahoo.com 80
GET /

Do you get the raw HTML display?

If not, try

nslookup www.yahoo.com

Should return a "real" hotname and address for the alias www.yahoo.com

If not, then probably have a problem in your TCP/IP stack - got a MS/Mcafee/Norton firewall module on your machine?

If it does return an address then you've probably got something blocking outbound connections - again I'd check your firewall settings carefully.

Yep -- sounds like a stack problem.
A couple of years back I used a small bit of freeware that repairs the windows TCP/IP stack -- it worke a treat.
