[SOLVED] Another "connected to router, but cannot browse" post

[efeezay]

Very first post...

and it looks like many other people have the same problem as me. The signal of the connection to the router is excellent, but when I open internet explorer, the window "freezes" and shows it trying to connect to google, my homepage. I also tried AOL Instant Messager, Yahoo! Messager... still cannot connect.

I'm on Windows XP with service pack 2 using a NETGEAR WPN824 router and a NETGEAR WPN111 wireless adapter.

Any ideas?

This obviously isn't a networking issue, since you have a good connection to the Internet.

Top suspect would be a firewall, have you disabled ALL firewalls as a test?

[efeezay]

That sure was the problem... turned off zonealarm and here i am. Thanks!
