Connect to LAN, but can't find internet

OK, here is the setup:

Cable modem is connected to Linksys router, which is connected to 8 port
hub. Hub is hardwired to four desktops and a Netgear wireless access
point. All desktops access LAN and internet just fine. Previously, I
had a Netgear PC card adaptor in my laptop and had no trouble accessing
the LAN or the internet. Dropped the laptop driving PC card into the
PCMCIA slot, trashing slot. I just hooked up a Linksys USB wireless
network adaptor to the laptop last night. Adaptor software says it is
talking to the access point, but can't find the internet. I can log
into the router from the laptop and I can access all the other computers
on the LAN, but I can't reach the internet from the laptop. I
double-checked the router and there are no filters or forwarded ports
set. Laptop is running Win98SE.

Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thanks.

Run Winipcfg and compare the laptop's wireless NIC TCP/IP settings to
the wired NIC settings on one of the desktops. They should be the
same except for the IP address.

Go to a command prompt on the laptop and test its network access.
Each command should receive 4 replies:

ping <laptop's IP address>
ping <default gateway address>
ping <DNS server address>
ping 216.239.39.100
ping www.google.com

Steve,

Thanks for the suggestions. Checked the settings and everything was
fine. I ended up removing the old pc card from the network, along with
the bindings to TCP/IP and NetBEUI and that did the trick.
