Good Newtork Connection, but no internet

I have a new gateway laptop running Windows Media Center. The on-board
wireless adapter has connected with no problems with my existing WEP-secured
home wireless network (PC base station, another PC upsatairs, a HP laptop and
an Apple I-Book g4). However it will not access the internet even though the
network connection shows no problems.

Hi
I assume that you have a Wireless Router (or an Access Point).
Wireless connected means at the minimum that you can connect to the Router's
menu system through the Wireless, or and capable to exchange files with
other computers. If you can not, then it means that you do not really have a
Wireless connection, and you need to reconfigure you Wireless.
If you are capable to access the Router or other computers, and can not
access the Internet, it might be that a software Firewall is blocking the
browser, or the browser might be troubled.
May be this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet
