(I need to say at this stage that wireless onto my son's new HP desktop is up and running with no problems at all, almost instantanious, from the same router.)
When trying to access the internet however, via 'internet explorer' on my daughter's laptop, it says that it cannot connect to the server. On my son's it connects straight away!
I have been onto the hp site and followed all the advice given, to no avail.
Anyone with any ideas for me please? 
Thanks.

Could you try this for me?
Go to Start, then Control Panel. Open for me "Network Connections". In there should be a wireless connection. Right click on it, and select Properties. Under "This connection uses to following items:" scroll down to "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". Select it, and press Properties below.
Make sure it looks like the picture i have attached below (Click OK after making any changes). This should allow the wireless link to receive all settings from the router, which may be one problem you are having.
