Problems w/ D-LINK G650 and Wireless SBC on XP

I recently bought a modem/router from SBC (2Wire's homeportal 1000SW)
and was connecting my laptop to the internet through the ethernet
cable and all was fine.

However, I bought this Dlink G650 wireless card and I can not make it
work. For some reasons, it installs itself OK on the computer but can
not "talk" with the 1000SW. It rightfully lists the 1000SW as an
available network, but when I follow DLink's instrution and supply the
network key and all sort of things, I still do not get access to the
Internet.

Did anyone have any trouble with DLink. I tried to call their tech
support but gave up after 1 hour on hold. I am sure it's some stupid
problem and that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with both laptop
and wireless cards, but it's frustrating to have a wireless card which
does not work!

Thanks for your help!!!

Not much help, but I have the same card, and with WEP turned on, it
can't maintain a connection, even to a D-Link router! This card has
kind of soured me on D-Link.

I had a similar problem, it turned out to be Zonealarm. When I disable
Zonealarm, everything fires into life.
