wireless network OK, but no internet on Vista laptop

[KatPow]

I have a Toshiba laptop that was connecting to a neighbor's wireless just fine until yesterday!! Now all I am getting is Local access.

I went and got Time Warner cable internet today. When I plug the ethernet cable directly into my laptop, it works fine. When I try to go onto my wireless router, it says local only.

I have wasted several hours trying to figure this out, plus the expense of getting my own internet, which I am better off having, I can secure my router.

I have made changes, but it doesn't seem to make any difference what I do. Still no wireless!!

Can someone help me before I lose my patience entirely???
