Ok....problem solved.
After trying to print something and having my wireless printer tell me it's got an error, I decided these problems must be connected. Still weird, cause we have two laptops connected fine. But anyway, I unplugged the wireless router, and plugged it back in (I know...step 1 suggested by any tech rep...LOL)...and BAM....problem solved!
Thanks again for suggestions. Nice place.....think I'll stick around
