Wireless Network help

[SoreArms]

I have a wireless network at home and I've sucesfully set up my laptops and desk tops in the past. I jsut got a new lap top with built in wireless. I have configured the wireless netwrok settings and it shows that I'm connected but I can't access the itnernet. My old laptop (that I'm using right now) seems to have more setting options than my new. For example, the new one doesn't an option for a channel, while my old one does.

I've set up:
work group
SSID
network key
wep

what else am I missing?

Post it up, I'm about to set up my own wireless network here in a couple of weeks. It's all sitting in boxes on the kitchen table right now.

If I'm not on the same workgroup I can't be part of my network. The new PC doesn't have a channel setting. THis is the first PC I try to set up with built in wi fi, my other laptops have all used PCMCIA cards tht usually have a utility with tons more settings that seem to make it easier.

Dude, PM Blut Wump or Dial_Tone....those dudes know their shit. Pintoca does too, but he just left for some kind of el-fago vacation.

I restored it to the earliest restore point available and it's now working. I must have deleted something useful thinking it was junk.
