If you have a static IP BT are experiencing issues in the UK.
Should be fixed as of 45 mins ago though, reset your router.

so a wired connection to the router is ok but wireless not?
does it even show if you search for available access points?
if not I'd say the receiver is probably bust?

It could be the BT issue. I have a speed touch router and all the lights (power, ethernet, DSL, Internet) are green with the exception of WLAN which has been red all morning.
Can use the main computer but no wireless connections anywhere.
wwaswas - if I understand your ? correctly - yes the link shows on devices and looks like wireless is working. But when you try to access anything wirelessly I get the message about not being connected.
Could be surfer is right for my region as well?
Anyway, thanks for replies so far.

try scanning to see if any of your neighbours have suddenly plumbed in a WLAN router that's broadcasting on the channel you use?
I had a similar issue before - a BT HomeHub (sp) from a neighbour seemed to be very aggressive, switching channels on my router fixed the problemPosted 4 months ago # -
I tend to avoid these questions now because of the amount of useless crap people spout makes them useless but are you confident the wireless connection is being made from your laptop? Assuming you're talking about a laptop?
Does the little wireless icon say it is connected?
Do you know how to confirm you have an IP address and check you can ping the gateway?Posted 4 months ago # -
Red light on WLAN still showing but connection restored somehow. Bizarre!
Anyway cheers for help.
