Can't find host server

Have two wireless computers side by side. One is fine, another can't connect
to the internet. The adapter is connected and shows "Excellent Connection".
Upconfig shows everything: gateway.2wire.net, IP address, Subnet mask and
default gateway are fine. Yet, when I ping I have "host server can't be
found" I tried google.com and many others. Brower always says "can't find
server".
Any ideas? Thanks

Can you ping 4.2.2.1? If not, post back with the result of ipconfig /all.

Thanks, Robert. I't all back to normal now. All I had to do was reboot my
puter a couple of times.
