Have you tried to release and renew it? Under Network Properties, ID tab, are you in the same domain (workgroup) as your network? Have you configured your tcp/ip correctly...Have you checked your dhcp as well (if you use it)? More info is needed...

You didn't mention whether you are printing to a local or a network printer. If you are on the correct domain/workgroup and your IP is correct, verify that you have mapped your laptop to the network drive. Once you map the drive, you should be able to see everything.

In terms of the Internet, if this is a new laptop (I would hope not with ME) and your Internet access is available through the (W)LAN, verify in your Internet Options in IE that it is detecting the proxy settings.
