The machine that is acting up actually has 3 DNS Servers listed, one of which matches the only one on the working laptop.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Suzi, you can also set up your machine with static ip settings identical to your laptop, with a different IP address.
If the ip on the laptop is 192.168.1.46, make the other machine 192.168.1.99 or the like.

How do I change the ip? I can't find the proxy setting but I remember that it was unchecked when I had looked earlier.

I have tried that a couple of time Le Nubian. I am shutting that computer down. It is hurting my brain and I have enough of a headache already. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's your operating system? To manually set an IP address you want to change your network connections, but how you get there depends on your OS.
If you want to get an automatic renewal, you can type ipconfig /renew at the command prompt and see if that makes a different--but if rebooting didn't, this might not either.

How do I change the ip?
Go into Network Connections control panel. Find the wireless card. Right click on it, and select "Properties" then when you have a properties screen up, find "internet protocol tcpip", highlight it, select the button that says, "properties" In there you can change it to "Use the following ip address" and "use the following DNS server" and enter in the settings.
Click OK, and then Close when done.
