Web-less! with Wireless

Hi there,

I have got a Netgear wireless firewall router WGT624 (supporting 801.11b, 801.11g up to 108 Mbps) connecting to my cable modem. I have set it up to a point where I can use wired connection from my laptop running XP Pro to browse the web on the router.

However, I can’t get the wireless connection to work. It simply cannot visit any website from IE6 nor would MSN Messenger/ Yahoo Messenger work. I am using INEXQ 801.11b network adaptor card. It can find my wireless network. I ran Windows XP’s Network Diagnostic tool, and it passes. I am sure the router does not block any content and I don't have WEP turned on. I have updated to the latest firmware. Even if I turned off all firewalls on my computer, it still does not work. I also checked with my ISP that only IP of the router is needed, and it should support multiple computer over wireless connections. I also made sure IE’s security level is to medium.

I tried everything and it does not seem to work. Any pointer is appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. However, changing channel does not work. Nor do I have XP SP 2 installed. I only have SP 1.

 

May be this can Help.
