Problems connecting to Internet with a Dlink 614+ and WinXP

[Guest]

Some months ago I set up a wireless network with a Dlink DI614+ and
had my laptop equipped with a Dlink 650 PC Card. Back then the laptop
was wrunning Win2000 and everything worked fine. After upgrading the
laptop to WinXP it doesn't work anymore. What happens is that it finds
the 614+ and I have a good signal to it, but that's it. When I try to
connect to the LAN or the Internet nothing happens. I can't find my
other computers on the network, and it won't resolve addresses on the
Internet. The strange part is that if I take my laptop to the router
and hook it up with a cable, it works just fine, and I can access
everything.
Anyone have a solution to this?

Disable the XP firewall on the wireless connection...

Have you run the WINXP Network Wizard? The Wizard usually makes the
correct configuration. Have you made any changes to the 614+ settings?
This router comes with factory defaults that usually work out of the
box with cable or DSL modems.

If you mean disable XP's internal FW...that is off.
