Question: Wireless connection successful but cannot connec..

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have a Netgear 802.11b wireless router. I have one computer connecting
successfully using a Netgear MA111 wireless USB 802.11b adaptor and this
works fine. I am now connecting a second computer using a Netgear WG111
wireless USB 802.11g adaptor. All indications are that the WG111 connects
to the router fine. I receive the solid green light and the Smart Wizard
indicates a 100% signal. However, when I attempt to access the Internet, I
get "cannot connect to server". Now the odd thing is that if I connect to
the Internet using the wired connection and then plug in the wireless
adaptor and remove the wire, it will maintain the internet connection and
access successfully.

I am using Comcast as an ISP and running Windows 98.

Is there a setting that I am missing?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks
Lou

CORRECTION: Make sure that MAC address filtering IS NOT blocking the
WG111 from having access.
