Came back from LAN party, and...

Last night, I went to a lan party, and my friend messed with my network settings to get me to connect to the master network of about 30 computers so we could all game. Now, when I got home, neither my wired or my wireless connection is working...My wireless card detects our home wireless network, but can't connect, and my wired connection is working, but i don't know what's up with that...Under my network places -> view network connections, it says that my gigabit LAN and my wireless card are enabled and working. Anyone know what's up? Oh, and my dad's computer, which is on the wifi network, is getting internet, but I can't even connect to the network.

you might have to reconfig ur settings, if your using XP try goting to control panel > network connection > then right click on the icon that the LAN icon and goto > properties > then click on TCP/IP.

Put them on auto then run the windows XP network setup wizard, found in control panel.
