Wireless Lan will not connect to Internet

[bobster]

Have just set up a Dell Truemobile 2300 wireless router and fitted
laptop with wireless card. The computer & router are talking to each
other no problem, but IE and Outlook Ex will not connect to internet
via the wireless connection. My broadband is from NTL set top box.

Anyone any ideas ???

Open the summary page on the router gui and see if it has a valid IP
address. Shut down the router and modem, power up the modem, and when
the lights stabilize, power the router. Then restart the laptop.

Many broadband modems need to have the MAC address table cleared by
power cycling to allow a new connected device (the new router).

It may be that you need to re register the PC on the ntl system as the ntl
sys, sees it as a new PC
It seems a major pain to me this procedure when using the ntl set top box,
your not put through these hoops with a ntl cable connection.
You register on the ntl sys via IE, I cannot remember the exact procedure of
accessing this via IE
