Wireless network help?

The network device I am using (the one from Dell) shows that I am connected to my wireless network and I am recieving a good signal. Despite this, I can not get on my network.





Network Magic, on the other hand, shows that I am not connected. I am unsure of what the problem may be.





Any ideas? =/

Wireless network help?
Get the latest drivers at Dell's site (http://support.dell.com) and just let Windows manage your wireless connections.
Reply:Even though you have a good signal to the router- You still may not be connected to the internet. If it worked before - usually you can fix that by rebooting your cable modem and or both.
Reply:If you are trying to connect to the Network for filesharing and whatnot, you have to have the network name on both computers the same I.e. MSHOME. If you are trying to Get internet connection through the router, there may be something wrong with the config in the router itself. Check the Wireless Security..... Go to internet explorer on the computer that the router is hardwired to and type 192.168.0.1 if that does not work, try 192.168.1.1 Most routers set their default gateways to those ip's. Check the manual that came with your router for username and password. Default is usually Username: admin / Password: Password or 1234. once you get into your router config, there should be a setup wizzard of somesorts... Hope this helps.
Reply:if you have a network, the router (or whatever) might be off. Also, the signal might be too low. So you ARE connected but you can't really do much
