I can get connected and have a 192... IP address using IPconfig/all
but I can't ping anything therefore I'm not "really" connected. I'm
using a Linksys WRT54G Router and Gigabyte desktop wlan pci lan cards
in the workstation. It sees the SSID fine and gets a 24 to 36mbps
connection but doesn't connect to the Internet nor can I ping
anything. What am I missing? I'm sure it's something I missed as I'm
just getting started with wireless connectivity. Any help from you
Gurus would be appreciated. Thanks

What are you trying to ping ? How are you configuring the access point ?

I went through the 'setup' that comes with Linksys and entered the data it
ask for regarding SSID , the Login ID/PW for the DSL and then the
Passphrase. That's all that it ask me to do. I can access the internet on
the machine that is directly connected to the router with an ethernet cable
but not through the workstation downstairs that has a Gigabyte Turbo 802.11
g/b wireless lan card. It detects the router just fine with the right SSID
and ask for the passphrase and I carefully enter that and it gets connected
at 24 to 36 mbps. But I try to ping "anything" Amazon, an address and if I
type it in wrong it says I have the wrong name but with an IP address it
comes back as with all tries and returns 4 tries with no returns after 4
attempts. Does that help?
