No Internet
I installed winXP, Installed a new wireless card. everything is a new fresh, clean install but I can't connect to the internet.
I am connected to my router. I am getting a good signal. its sending packets it's just not receving them.
and yes my router is working properly. I have 2 other pc's connected to it wirelessly and they work fine....
it has to be something simple I'm missing I know it
anyone know what might be wrong?

I'm using WEP and yes its right. and yes everything is connected properly.
and I have'nt done anything to the router. I should'nt have to should I? I should be able to bring any pc within distance of it and connect to it right?
I just got an idea. since its working on my other pc I could just check all the settings to see if there the same right?
under wireless network connections i click support should the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway be the same on both pc's?

you gateway and subnet mask should be the same. you ips should differ most likely by one octect... i.e. 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.101
if your router does mac filtering as kminfotech mentioned, you would not be able to bring alien nic's and connect to the internet without configuring your router.

ok most likely its the mac filtering problem then.
I don't have time to check it right now. my neices are begging me to take them to an amusement park. but I should be back in a few hours to fix it and award points if this is the problem...
thanks for the help

Are you getting a valid IP address from the router? How do you know it is sending?
What sort of security are you using? Make sure your WEP/WPA keys are correct. Sometimes if the key is wrong, you cannot connect. You will see transmitted packets as the NIC attempts to negotiate a connection but nothing will come back.
Do you have MAC filtering on? Did you add the new MAC address to the router? This could also cause the above.
