Connected to Network but not to internet?

Hi Guys,

In our house there are 4 laptop users connected to UPC internet.
Last Saturday, I was on wireless internet and then I lost connectivity to the internet but not to the network.
Funny thing is that all the other users can still connect to the internet. Aswell as this, I took my laptop tp work and I could connect to the wireless internet no problem, although its not a UPC provider.

I have tried connect via the internet cable but that only connects to the network aswell. I called UPC and they were of little help given that there was no issue with the internet and that I couldnt even connect via the internet cable. Instead, they gave me a number to call at a rate of 95 cent a minute, which is ridiculous.

Id really appreciate any advise anyone has to offer.

Thanks in advance!

Could be an IP issue and above says.

To check if you have assigned an IP follow these instructions:

Both options should be set to "Obtain automatically".
