    My ATV tends to be finnicky sometimes, too.  I just had an issue with it losing it's connection to the internet (I think related to my use of the iPhone remote app) and had a bit of trouble getting it to connect again, and like you, my laptop and iPhone could connect to the internet without problems.  I was able to get it to connect again by simply unplugging the ATV (power cord), waiting a few seconds, and then plugging it back in.

     

    Worth a try.
