Connected But No Connection

My PC says that it is connected to the wireless network and the connection is
excellent, but when I bring up IE or Firefox neither can connect to the
network. I have turned off the modem, and the router and then turned them
back on again, but the same thing happens. I plug in a cable and the PC
connects just fine.

I have taken the PC to another house and it connects just fine.

What should I be looking for to correct?

Verify functionality by starting over and configuring the wireless
connection with "no" security (no WEP, no WPA, etc.). When you can verify
that everything works,...then go back and add WPA-TKIP or WPA-AES (whichever
your equipment can all agree on).
