This is my brief 'researching a wireless connection problem' checklist. Hey, it's a start.
Research:
a) check that the signal strength is good (if not, check that the router is on, and PC is on the same channel as the router. )
b) Even if strength is okay, consider rebooting the router.
c) check that the PC has the right WEP key (control panel/wireless configuration utility)
d) check that TCP/IP is auto-acquiring the IP and DNS addresses (control panel/network connections/right click on 'wireless network connection'/Properties/scroll down to TCP/IP/ Properties/'Obtain IP automatically/Obtain DNS automatically'
