Hi,
I have installed a Netgear RangeMax Wirless PCI Adapter WPN311 in my Grandsons Computer a Dell 2400 running XP Pro.
I then tried to connect to his father's Router which is an Orange Wireless Router Livebox EA50. The Netgear wireless adapter picked up the signal 100% and I then connected to the Router. No problems so far. The netgear icon in the start tray is full green. Connection status shown as "connected to Router"
However, when I then sought to use the Internet there was no connection. In the installation guide it says the that when connection status is shown as Connected to Router: Wireless connection to the router is ok but the router is not connected to the internet. However, this is not the case becase Three other computers (using ethernet cable) and a Notebook ( wirless) are all working fine!!
If you could give me a series of things I need to check it would be greatly appreciated. You see, it is a 100 mile round trip to my Grandsons

Hi
Check that your firewall first and make sure its allowing the adaptor,
or it just sounds like a setting.
I assume your using the Netgear software utility for the adaptor, if you are switch to Windows Zero config to manage it (if you havnt tried it already),
open
Network connections > Right click the wireless connection icon > Wireless connection Tab > Tick "Use Windows to configure my network settings" > click Add and fill in your wireless SSID details, and security settings etc.
