I have a new gateway laptop running Windows Media Center.  The on-board
wireless adapter has connected with no problems with my existing WEP-secured
home wireless network (PC base station, another PC upsatairs, a HP laptop and
an Apple I-Book g4).  However it will not access the internet even though the
network connection shows no problems.

Hi
I assume that you have a Wireless Router (or an Access Point).
Wireless connected means at the minimum that you can connect to the Router's
menu system through the Wireless, or and capable to exchange files with
other computers. If you can not, then it means that you do not really have a
Wireless connection, and you need to reconfigure you Wireless.
If you are capable to access the Router or other computers, and can not
access the Internet, it might be that a software Firewall is blocking the
browser, or the browser might be troubled.

Hello,

I have the same problem.  I have an XP Pro with two adapters, one
wired, one wireless, both connecting to same router.  All are static IP
manually assigned.  Both adapters worked previously.  Now, the wireless
is connected, with Excellent signal per taskbar icon, but there is no
internet connection when wired adapter is disabled.

When wired adapter is enabled, router and both adapters are
successfully pinged.  When wired adapter is disabled, ping of router
fails.

With regard to firewall, I have tried turning it off, both installed
firewall and Windows firewall.  No effect.

I have gone through setup of router and adapter with tech support,
again to no effect.

Please assist.  Thanks,
karlo

In router setup, I observe that router only sees the wired adapter.

When wired adapter is enabled, router and both adapters are
successfully pinged.  When wired adapter is disabled, ping of router
fails.

Looking into router setup, it says it only sees the wired adapter.

When wired adapter is enabled, router and both adapters are
successfully pinged.  When wired adapter is disabled, ping of router
fails.
