Re: Confused by "local only"

I tried this and still nothing. It says my network is "not in use".

When I use the wireless adapter I have for my desktop in the laptop it sees the network on macafee(yes I played with all the settings for this too). But the second I remove the USB device it goes right back to not seeing it on macafee and not seeing the network.

All my information is entered correctly, the only query I have is I've never had to tell my router to "let" my computer on the internet...just put in the password and go.

I know vista is quite different than XP in that regards, is there anything special I'd have to do to my wrt54g linksys router to allow my new vista laptop online?

Like I said it lets my USB adapter on when its plugged into the computer...

Also a note, when I try to connect to the network with the built in adapter it "takes longer than usual to connect". Usually says "Limited to no connectivity" then goes back to just "local only".

There's got to be something I'm doing wrong/not doing.
