I have a wireless Linksys network card to my laptop. I can connect to
wireless networks but I can't access the Internet. What can be the
problem(s) causing this?

The connection through Ethernet is OK though. It's just the wireless that
doesn't work.

Thanks for all your input.

Care to elaborate?
Your wireless configuration or a dodgy WiFi card.

Is the wireless Linksys card made from plastic or cardboard. The
plastic version will have a model number on the bottom and can be made
to work. The cardboard card will not function. There is sometimes a
clear plastic carrying case, that also will not function. The plastic
card can also be inserted in the laptop 4 different ways, 3 of which
will destroy the connector.

Perhaps you've been sniffing too much ether. It takes two to tango.
Your plastic or carboard Linksys card needs to talk to another device.
Some clue as to the maker, model, and configuration of this other
device would be useful.

Perhaps if you called Linksys, they might help you identify what
equipment you're using.

Hint: If you're using WEP, use the Hex key, not the ASCII key.
