For some reason the internet on the desktop started working today, the
laptop is still looking for a dial-up connection (when I look at the
connection for the wireless internet it says that It is connected and
working fine but Outlook, IE6, and OE6 aren't looking for it).

I looked in the help section but I am not sure how to check this.

Also check your connections tab in Internet Options. Make sure "Never dial a
connection" is selected. Sometimes this gets reset to dialup for no reason.
Also check the LAN settings button on the same page. There should be no
checkmarks on that page--no scripts, no proxies.
