On your desktop go into
on Internet Explorer, Tools, then internet options, click connection, then LAN settings and then make sure that the "automatically detect settings" check box is ticked. Try that first see what that does or what that is set to.

Re: need help from computer geeks xxx
What type of wireless modem is it? What OSes are you using? Can the two computers see each other on the network (assuming the modem also acts as a router, which some do)? You say that before it worked intermittently - has anything changed recently?
