Internet won't work on PC but works for laptop?
I have cable internet, the line runs through the modem and pc to the wireless router. Initially when I set it up, everything worked fine and I could use the wireless on my laptop or the internet on my PC. We got a new tv in July and since then the internet doesn't work on my pc, it works fine on my laptop. We just tried running the internet directly into the PC and shut down the laptap wifi, and it wouldn't work. Any suggestions?
We have called the cable company and they got the computer to work, but then the wifi didn't and I far prefer my laptop over my pc, but I use my pc for my husband's billing for his business and I need the email on that machine.
I use Windows XP home edition on the PC and I have Vista on the laptop.

Plug the cable modem directly into the PC. when it doesn't work call your cableco's tech support line (as you are not using a router, they can help you). You will face a long wait time and likely barely-competent support staff, but without knowing any specifics like computer type (vista/xp/mac/linux, network configuration, etc. it's hard to provide any real help).
If it does for some reason fix itself, call the router manufacturers tech support.
Try unplugging your new TV, if it fixes it you found the culprit.
