Can't connect to internet - (new to Wireless network)

I bought a Linksys WRT54GS connected to my main PC and wireless adaptor
WPC54GS. The notebook adaptor connects to the access point, there is a
signal, but can NOT connect to the internet.....

Do you have a cable or dsl modem?
How does your main PC access the internet

And you power-cycled the cable modem after you connected it to the
router's WAN port?

The desktop connects just fine. Yes, modem was powered down - powered
up.

The suck-ass Linksys notebook adaptor is the problem at this point. It
won't connect to internet despite showing good signal to the access
point.

Can you connect the laptop to the router using bulit in LAN?

Did you check you proxy settings?

Can you see the other PC? The Router?

I suspect you have a config issue between the router / access point and the
laptop config.

Same SSID? WEP / WPA? Client software or Windows Zero Config Wireless
software?

Specifics please......

I have successfully connected now. Called Linksys tech. support and a
really smart Indian guy walked me through. I matched the WEP password
on my router with the WEP logon, and then used Win XP to connect the
wireless network. Linksys' documentation contradicted that. They said
for XP users, not to enable Windows to connect the wireless network.
ALL IS GOOOOOD!
