Connection problems with Netgear WG111v.3

[Dazdebaz]

Hi,

I recently bought a Netgear WG111v.3 to connect my new computer to my existing wireless network. It detects my network and seems to be connected, but I cannot use the internet. I tried downloading the latest drivers but it didn't help.

Here is my windows IP configuration:

I'm tearing my hair out, so if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.

Top suspect would be mismatched encryption keys. Disable ALL encryption and MAC filtering on the router and see if you can connect. Also, remove any stored wireless profiles on the machine and search for networks, see if you connect. If so, you can add the encryption back on the router.

Thanks, that solved the problem. Cheers mate.
