Using XP SP2,
my desktop connected to the modem and router
does connect to the internet.

Using XP SP2
on my IBM T43 laptop
I could previously reach the net
with a wireless connection.

Currently my
Wireless Network Connection info reads:

Speed: 54.0 Mbps
Signal Strength: Excellent
Status: Connected

But my laptop browser, FTP, news and email aps
fail to get on the internet.

Repairing the Wireless Connection dosn't help.

There is no firewall.
Windows firewall is off
and ZoneAlarm has been uninstalled.

Using the wireless connection
how can I get on the web ?

"Does connect to the Internet". How do you know? Can you ping
www.yahoo.com? Can you telnet to your POP or SMTP mail host?

Can you use your web browser to open the web pages for your router's
admin screens (to configure it)? Can you ping or connect to the web
screens for your cable modem?

VanguardLH tks for your response.

I can ping
yahoo.com
or
my Router IP
from my desktop which has the router connection
[Sent = 4, Received = 4]

but, from the notebook
with the wireless indicator light lit
and the info:

Speed: 54.0 Mbps
Signal Strength: Excellent
Status: Connected

yahoo.com is unreachable
and
my Router IP is unreachable..
[Sent = 4, Received = 0]

Can you suggest what steps I could take
to get a wireless connection ?

I've used wireless very little. Perhaps you have security enabled (a
good thing) in the router and need to add the laptop to the MAC address
list of hosts that are allowed to connect to that router.
