Hello,
When it's unable to open webpages are you still able to ping web addresses via command prompt?
And if you look in Device Manager (if you're using Window$) is there an icon or a question mark next to it as a question mark will usually mean a driver problem.
Lastly, if you can't access web pages at all - have you checked the router? As it will often give this sort of response if the router is set up with encryption and either your laptop doesn't have the key or the key is wrong.

It could be a flakey PCMCIA port. Does the unspecified card work in your other laptop?
