Go into the command prompt.
Then type "ipconfig /flushdns", don't include the quotation marks though.
Then reboot the computer.
Let us know if this helps.

    I did that, I thought it was going to work, but then it said it could not connect to the preferred wireless network.
    Yet again.

    I'm really starting to hate computers. Haha.

    If you are using WPA did you input the key into the laptop?

      Our network doesn't have a key.
      At least none that I know of, I've never needed one before.

      And it's a desktop with wireless, not a laptop.
      If that makes any difference whatsoever, I don't know.

      No, that makes no difference, I just assumed that it was a laptop. (I know assume makes a....)

      Did you try unplugging the router for about a minute and then plugging it back in?
      Turn your computer off when you do that, then turn the computer on about a minute after you plug the router back in.

      Try a new wireless card?
      Did you update it and then it stopped working?
