could someone explain why my laptop can connect to my network but not use my internet
Does it come up with this "IP conflict" message or something along the lines of that?

So what's the deal? You can still surf the internets or whatever on your laptop, you just come up to a blank start up page.... psyduck;

And there's nothing that tells you anything about a "conflict" of any sort with your IP or system... psyduck;

I'm pretty sure this isn't because you're using Windows.

That's odd though, my laptop has never done that. Try a wired connection, the only problem I could think of that's given you this is a IP address conflict with the system, which it would tell you right away.

Every other device in my house can connect to my Airport. It seems it could at least attempt to say what's wrong instead of just giving me a little yellow dialog every 15 seconds telling me I'm a faggot.
Check the router for Mac (as in address, not Mac computers) filtering.
Did you enter the WEP code in hex? You have to enter the code in hexadecimals if you're using Windows.

Good thing my other iMac won't give it to me, or else I may have a reliable connection. spam;
Also, for whatever reason, I can connect to other connections with WEP codes automatically. No need to even enter them. psyduck;

that's because the default on most routers is to use wep with open encryption
this allows anyone to connect to the network, but only those with the encryption key can actually do anything, which explains your problem
Lawlz on Windows.
Never saw that coming. myface;
