In the interests of fairness can we also have a thread called "I love my Apple Mac"?

Someone may have enabled MAC filtering on the router.

Go to http://192.168.1.1/ or http://192.168.2.1/ (depending on your router) and look for a MAC filtering option.

That makes it easier, mines Belkin as well. I'll assume you've logged in, then go to MAC Address Filtering under the Firewall heading on the left-hand side. Set it to disabled, click save. Your router will restart then try your laptop again.

You might need to reboot your laptop as well to refresh the wireless connection.

Do you have a WEP or WPA key set? i.e. do you need to type a pass-key on your laptop when trying to connect to the network? If so, has someone changed the pass-key?
