2nd Your nanny's is working so you have no wireless problem on the router side. Your problem is on your laptop....... CHECK.
What type of laptop are you using? Dell/Toughbook/Gateway/etc ???? DELL.
What is your browser? (IE) I assume that it works with your CAT5 hookup so your problem is not the browser. IE. ROGER.
If you work on the CAT5 then your firewall is OK, but check to make sure that you do not have any restrictions unique to wireless. Go to control panel/security center and make sure the advanced has a check in Wireless Network connection. If not check it or add it. This will keep you from connecting. COULD NOT FIND WIRELESS NETWORK BLOCK TO HEK OR UNCHECK IN ADVANCED.
Now go in to network connections and disable and close, go back in and re-enable. It will think for a minute and the WIFI icon will show that it is seeing your home wireless.
Now depending on what you use to interface with your wireless card you may have to do some different things.
If you have the Intel Pro Set/Wireless icon in the lower right open it. What you will need to do is open it and look at your profiles. Erase the old home profile and do a scan..... Find your home wireless and configure it.... Make sure you do the proper encryption.
Reboot your laptop and go in and detect your WIFI. Check everything and you should be able to get in now. XP is a bugger and gets confused with WIFI and hard line connections. If this does not work I can with the above questions answered give you one more route to fix it Monday.
Good luck
