Im trying to setup this wireless network... WRT54G linksys 802.11g wireless router v2 - 1 pci and 1 pcmcia card for each of the computers (both being linksys 802.11g cards). Anyway I hooked everything up without a problem, connected to the router and set it up( dialed into the router via browser - dsl router going into the internet port of the wireless router and a cable from my computer to the first port ), or so I thought. I then attempted to connect from the pc with the wireless pci card. It said it was getting signal from the router but it is not able to connect to the Internet (every time I tried to type in a url the page wouldnt load and I wasnt able to ping anything) . So I figure that I messed up and decide to go through the installation wizard on the CD. That failed worse than I had.. it said that the wireless router was not connected to the Internet when I had a cable from my dsl router going into the wireless router. At this point it started getting interesting... I had tried just about every possible thing to fix it to no avail. I then decided to bite the bullet and call tech support. "Luckily", I got the Arabian guy who told me to try an application on the linksys website called 'netset', I found it and downloaded it and attempted to use it... failure. It had the same effect as the CD installation had.

( Both of the computers are running XP )

Does anyone have an idea on what I can do?
