I think you need to reset your router using reset button...see..how to reset

GO HERE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS

Restart the modem and router and you should be connected.

Turn the router off.
Wait 10 seconds.
Turn the router on.
Wait 60 seconds for it to reestablish its connection to your ISP.
Restart your computer.
On your computer, click "View Available Wireless Networks".
It should show your private wireless network.

Did you tell Vista to "automatically connect to XXXXX network whenever in range" ?

The cable internet is not "seeing" the computer. The router is blocking it. That is why it works if you plug it into the modem directly. How to solve this is to turn everything off and unplug power to modems and routers for 3-5 minutes. Then replug in routers. Then restart computers.

That is why it worked at the computer store. Everything was shut down and restarted.

Also, sometimes it is necessary to call the ISP (for example Comcast) and have them re-send the signal. Also going to Control Panel Network Connections and choose "repair the connection" will reset the signal.
Be patient it will work.

try power cycling your network (turn off all of the hardware)
First turn off the computer,
second, the router;
lastly the router (wgr614).

Now, turn the hardware in this order:

1. Turn on Modem. Wait 2 minutes.
2. Turn on Router (wgr614). wait 1 minute.
3. Now turn on the Computer(s).

this should refresh your internet connection. If not, check your routers settings for any wrong info.
to access your router's homepage, type this (http://www.routerlogin.net) into Internet Explorer.

You need to make sure your internet is still working. Its possible the storm caused some damage to the dsl line

Can you plug a normal broadband modem in and connect to the internet?

If you can, then try unplugging your router and plugging it back in, give it a few mins to boot up and try again (if you havn't tried this already)

If still no luck you'll have to do a master reset and set your router back up and try that, however at this point I'd guess the storm killed your router.

If you havn't got a broadband modem that plugs strait in, then ring your ISP and ask them if they've had any problems thier end.

hope this helps
