Wireless will not connect to internet

I have a dial up internet connect that works well and has for years. It works
on my desk-top, my lap-top and my daughter's lap-top. I recently purchased
what I call a wirelss receiver/transmitter to get high speed internet. It
connects by cable to the back of the computer I choose to use. I presume it
receives and transmits a wireless signal and sends this signal by cable to
the connected computer.
The problem is that it works very well on the two lap-tops. On the desk-top
it worked only once, the first time I turned it on. Now it will not connect.
The error message I receive which is hidden under the "done" message is
"waiting for res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiafoff.htm". The interesting part is
that outlook express works well with this transmitter/receiver as well as the
automatically generated downloads such as security updates and windows
software updates. Further info that might help is; I am on windows XP version
5.1
Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi
When multiple computers share Internet connection there is a need for
hardware, or software Routing.
It is hard to understand how Routing is done (if any) on your Network.
In addition you need to describe accurately how you get the Internet feed,
"wireless receiver/transmitter" is a general term that do not really explain
the specific nature of your Inter\net connection.

This error appears to be related to IE 7. If you have IE 7 installed on
the problem machine, try posting a question in
microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general with the subject matter
something like: "IE7 error: res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiafoff.htm"

Although it's easier to use a newsreader (such as Outlook Express) or
even Google Groups rather than the web interface you used to make your
original post, if you want to continue using that method -- which may
make it hard to find any responses -- click on this link:

One suggestion for a similar error that seems sensible to me is to try
to run IE7 with no addons [Start > All Programs > Accessories > System
Tools > Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)]. If that works, then disable
all add-ons and put them back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If you don't know how to do any of this, try Help in IE 7 or ask in
the newsgroup linked above.
