I've been using my laptop for over 4 months now & have been using wireless internet. Now, I can't access ANY websites, though it tells me that I am connected with an IP address directed to my router & wireless router (which is connected after my router for the laptop use only). The IP address for the Linksys router is 192.168.15.1 and for my Blitzz wireless router is 192.168.1.254. What could be wrong? IBM technical support told me it could either be a wireless router problem or a settings problem in the router software setup. I did change the router software at 192.168.1.254 to make sure my encryption is enabled in my network. The network tab shows it is disabled. How do I fix this mess?

It could possibly be winsock stack corruption:

It could be that the WEP key is entered into your adapter in a way that does not match the router. If you disable WEP on the router, does it then work?
Finally, I would disable DHCP on the wireless router, set it to an IP of 192.168.15.2 and "flatten" your subnet. See:
