Check the network cable connection. If Outlook Express is configured like I think it is, the problem lies with either your cable or hub on the laptop. Check that first.

The computers are in different rooms. only one cable goes to to the notebook from the hub.

Like I said, I would check the cable to make sure the LINK light is green on both the NIC and the Hub.

Sounds like someone may have managed to change the settings in the Connections tab of the Internet Options (look in the Control Panel).
