Belkin F5D8053 wont connect to any wifi

Hey,

I just bought this not too long ago to replace the linksys pci adapter.

It picks up signal and when I connect to it, Windows says I'm connected. But when I try to browse the web (firefox) or try to go on msn messenger it wont let me.I have everything automatically configured. And when i trouble shoot msn messenger it stops at default gateway check. So I am connected to the access point on my laptop and checked the gateway and it has the same gateway as my desktop does. I put the usb on the laptop itself and its the same exact problem.

Nice rig you have there! and I installed the drivers by themselves without the belkin App, I'm just going to return it because just last night I received a cantenna from my friend! I'm looking for a usb adapter to connect my cantenna to it. But I dont know what other USB adapters will work with Airodump. I've been trying to see if I could crack someone's WEP encryption then go up to their house and tell them their own password and tell them how to secure it! haha i know it's dumb but I'm really cool with my neighbors. and maybe I can make some money to enforce their security =]

Thank you for your reply akhilles
