The wireless access point isn't passing DNS to your laptop. Go in an manually assign 8.8.8.8 as the DNS setting.
Type ncpa.cpl into the Start menu search box or hit the Windows key + R at the same time and type it in that box. Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties. Go down to TCP/IP and select it. Click Properties. Enter 8.8.8.8 in the Preferred DNS server box and click OK. Click OK on the Wireless Connection Properties box.
Edit- Reboot your laptop with those new settings. I'll check back in about 45 when I get home to see if you are still having problems.
2nd Edit - Type ncpa.cpl into the Start menu search box again to bring up the Network connections screen. Right click on the Wireless connection and select Diagnose. Let me know if that takes care of it.
