One question: Is it a laptop with wireless connection?
Answer: No
Possible solution: Eat me.
Answer: Yes
Possible solution: Most modern laptops come with the option to turn
wireless networking on/off. On my HP it's a blue touch light-switch (I
touch it with my finger and it lits up). You can find the button (though
not necessarily a button button) somewhere around the keyboard, and it
has an icon that looks like an antenna sending out radiowaves (usually).
If your laptop is missing that "button", you can also activate it through
the control panel->network access. Depending on your brand of
computer the rest may vary, so you're on your own from there.

So, uh, where from did you post... uh... this? 😕

Giving up the internet is quite a radical solution though. 😛
reinfeld: Did it ever connect to the internet?
EDIT: Don't know vista very well, but it might be possible your router settings have changed. You will need to go to the control panel, find where all the wireless connections are set up, delete the old connection to the router, refresh it, and add it again. If your wife has changed the password and wouldn't tell you the new one, you are a bit screwed.
EDIT2: Well, not entirely screwed, you can reset the router back to its factory settings and reconfigure it.

Never mind me. Nothing to see here. 😳
Well, if the man would punctuate and write properly maybe I'd get him! 😠
Oh, well. 😞
