Can connect to access point but Cannot find Internet WRT54g
Here's what you should do.
Symptom
Three computers are already connected wirelessly to a Linksys WRT54G and all work fine.
A new PC that has a Linksys WMP54GS needs to be connected to those computers. I installed the latest
drivers from online and used the "Step-By-Step" installation guide to connect to the WRT54G.
When the setup is done, the status message I get is somewhere along the lines of, "connected to access point, cannot find Internet"
The only time the internet is found is when I plug in a regular network wire from the router as well.
Solution
1. Check whether the WRT54G has any encryption. Enter the correct key in the system
2. Log into the linksys, find out if it's using an Open or a Shared key, 64 or 128 bit encryption..

3. Find out what channel it's broadcasting off. Default is 6, but someone may have changed it to 1 or 11.
4. Check to see if you have MAC filtering active.
5. Check for how many DHCP clients are allowed on the router. if the setting is 2 change it to 3.
That should take care of the problem..!!
