Wireless connection problem - can't get Linksys NIC to work

Hello all.

While troubleshooting a friend's network, I can't get a wireless NIC to work. Here are the stats on the network:

ISP: AT&T DSL

Router: Linksys Wireless G 2.4 GHz router model WRT54G

Computer A (one network card):

- Intel (R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection

Computer B (two network cards):

- Intel (R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection

- Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter

Computer B, a Dell desktop running Windows XP, is where the problem lies. The wireless NIC shows up (in Control Panel...Network Connections) as connected just fine, but I can't ping the (default gateway IP address) router successfully. And of course no internet access.

The (wired) Intel NIC is disabled. I've tried enabling it and it makes things worse. The XP firewall is turned off, and there's no encryption enabled on the wireless NIC. I've tried both manual IP settings, and DHCP. I've tried repair, and disable then enable of the wireless NIC. I've powered the router down for a few minutes, then powered it back on. No luck.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

- Dave
