Hi
The Wireless connection utility might state "Connected" when there is a
Wireless signal reception. However if some thing is wrong with the Network,
or any of the components related to the Network, there is real Network
connection.
My New Wireless does not work -

If Wireless is configured correctly and the I.E does not yield Internet
Connection
General Network Debug.
Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager.
Make sure that the drivers are installed correctly; there is No IRQ
conflict, and No Ghost installation,

Step Two. Verify Basic network setting in the OS,

If the above two Steps indicates that every thing looks good but
functionally it does not work.
Step Three. Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and
or refresh the TCP/IP Stack,
