Question for the IT guru's (laptop buggard)

[tintin]

My daughters lappy wont connect to the internet!!!
I have tried 3 different ways,
1, O2 payg dongle
2, Usb wireless dongle on my networlk
3, ethernet cable straight to the router (a Bekin N1)

All types say they are connected, but internet explorer wont display any pages and tells me i'm 'offline'
Checked that the box is not ticked for "work offline"
So what the hell should i look at next.
(all 3 other wireless devices in the house are getting on net just fine!!)

Also in the same window make sure proxy server box is not checked it should be empty lots of viruses stick a proxy in there.
Failing that go into advanced and reset internet explorer settings.
