Wireless Internet works on Mac laptop, not on XP desktop

[Kverrue]

I have Comcast wireless Internet that is working fine on my Mac laptop, but not on my Windows XP desktop (which is connected to the internet via a USB connector). I have tried rebooting the modem, router, USB, computer, tried turning off firewall and reconnecting.... nothing works! Comcast said the signal from their end is fine and working. Any ideas?

USB what ?

It's a netgear USB wifi adapter. Turns out (after calling Netgear) that it needed a software update! After a whole day of moving the computer across the house to connect to the Internet and download the hefty software.... problem solved!
