Solved: All devices except one laptop get internet from network
I have a Dell inspiron running windows 7 (64) and it connects to the wireless router but doesn't get internet. All of my other devices, including another dell laptop, connect with no problems. I tried connecting it directly with an ethernet cable and it still didn't get internet. I've also tried turning off any firewalls. Any help would be most appreciated.

What firewall or security suite is, or ever was, on the system?

As far as I can tell it only has McAfee. The laptop is about a year old.
