Cannot Access Net

I have set up a Laptop with a Belkin Network Card.
It seems to communicate fine with the Router and a signal
strength of "excellent" is displayed, but I cannot access
the internet from the Laptop.
(Everything works fine from another desktop in the network
of 3 machines.)

Belkin say that is my Windows Network ettings
that aren't right.

You'll need to include some more info. What's the IP addressing scheme that
you're using? DHCP from the router? Static? Open a command prompt type in
ipconfig /all and paste the results back here. Get IP info (address, mask,
gateway) from router and paste in here as well.

Hi

The first step is to ascertain that you have a functional Wireless
connection.

Unfortunately seeing a Good signal or seeing the name of your device in the
Wireless Properties, or the word Connected, does not mean that you have a
working connection.

Working connection would mean that a least you can log to the Router's Menus
system and browse them, or you can connect and exchange info with another
computer on the Network, or you can browse the Internet. If none of the
three is working it most likely you do not have a Functional Wireless
Connection.
