The access point seems to be providing the DHCP addresses. However, if I disable DHCP in the access point, it is allocated via the router. However, I still can not connect to the Internet. >

I've disabled mac filtering and encryption for the time being to check that this isn't causing my problems. It hasn't helped. I've also tried disabling the on-board wifi card and plugged in an older 802.11b pcmcia wireless card. I felt sure I'd be able to connect with this, but haven't been able to. I'm not sure what this signifies though except that it's not just a problem caused by the 802.11g on-board wireless. I've also downloaded the latest drivers for the on-board wi-fi card. No difference. >
