Can't find server -IE

Howdy!
I hope this isn't a silly question. I just now installed a
network on this computer. I have a D-Link wireless router
connected to the NIC and a DSL modem connected to the router.
Everything on this machine works as advertised. I need to be
able to access the internet from a second computer, so I set up
the network on it. It connects automatically through a D-Link
G122 wireless USB adapter. I've checked to be sure the second
computer is in fact showing "connected" and the right network
name.

When I start IE, it says "Cannot find server."

What do I do now? Any and all answers to this vague question
will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! Somewhere in reading through all those articles, I
decided to check TCP/IP properties. I found the remnants of an
aborted attempted to set up a wireless ad hoc network with a
specific IP. I changed that to automatic detection and now
everything is cool.
