Can not connect

My sons Dell B130 laptop was infected wth Trijans, and worms and all kinds of
stuff. It would lock up. I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled XP. We
have a wireless router in our home and now I can not get on the internet. The
wireless connection icon on the task bar says weare connected to our network
with good signal strength, but when I try to get on MSN I get "Page can not
be Displayed"

Did you reinstall XP using a Dell "restore" function to get the laptop
to the state it was when it first came out of the box or did you install
XP from a Microsoft Windows XP CD?

When you tried to connect to your router, were you asked for a password,
and did you enter it correctly?

Hi
This page might help in checking the health of the Computer's Wireless.

Disable the Wireless security in the Wireless Router and reconfigure from
scratch.
Enable the security only after you get good connetion.
