Newbie wifi question

I bought a 3com wifi card to use in an old pentium 2 i had kicking
around (98se) The card is installed and funtioning ok but I cant access
the internet. The tcp/ip configuration is set up same same as for my lan
card wich works fine. Example I was in a spot last night which showed
80%+ connectivity on an open network but when i launch the browser i get
nothing, nor can i see the network in network neighborhood. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Are you using a software firewall? Check that the router Wireless IP
address range is allowed.

Also check through the router to see what computer names it can see.
