Can't access Netgear WG302 via web page

I have a Netgear WG302 wireless router, when I configure it, directly connected with an ethernet cable it seems fine. When I connect it to the network and try to access it remotely over the network I can't connect, however I can ping it. This has failed on Win7 with IE9, and Firefox; and XP with IE 8 and Opera.

Are you connecting from the LAN or WAN side?  

What IP is assigned to the WG302?

Goto a command prompt and type in "arp -a".  Do you see the IP of the WG302?  Do you see more than 1 IP assigned?  For example, do you see the WG302 assigned an IP and the same IP assigned to another device?

On some devices you have to enable the ability to manage the router over wireless. By default these devices are set to only allow the management interface to be accessed from a wired connection. Another thing to try would be to power cycle the router and then see if you can connect.
The Netgear Router have an option for Remote Management that needs to be enabled for the browser to get to it from outside the network
Browser doesn't matter - just need to enable Remmote Mangement from inside the network LAN side wired connection, for the external ip address to display the configuration screen. I'm pretty sure it's shut off by default.
