I use windows to connect to a wireless network and so i try to connect to mine.
I enter my wep key as it tells me to do so and then it trys to connect.
After a short time, it says Limited or no connectivity above the icon in the
systray.

I have nortons 2006 and i have had a look to see if it is blocking my
wireless router but still it displays that message.

The internet works on the wired computer but has no interest in my wireless
computer

Please Help

My router is a Linksys WRK54G if this is any help.

This is most likely a missconfigured firewall or a DHCP problem . Try to
allocate manually the IP/GW/DNS for the wireless network and tell us if that
fix the problem...

Hi,

Are you using the third-party wireless software or Microsoft's? If you are
using third-party software, try removing it from your system. There are some
know conflicts between this kind of applications.

As Marian said, it is most likely a firewall or DHCP problem, so I would
suggest that you temporarily remove Norton and any other network security
tool or application. Try running the computer in safe mode with networking
(the wireless connection may not function in safe mode with networking, but
try it anyway . KB305616).

You can also try resetting winsock, for more details take a look at the
following article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259/

Take a look at the articles bellow, which describe common troubleshooting
steps for wireless connections:
