How to make your browser and wireless Internet connection to speak of one another?

I recently purchased a Linksys wireless card so I could use my wireless internet service on my desktop, which until now has not had access. (My PC is a Dell, and runs with Windows XP Home, 2002). The network connection has been established and has said that the signal strength is "very good", but despite this, neither Firefox nor IE recognizes that the connection is there. In other words, my Internet connection of the network has been configured, but can not get any of my browsers to load any webpage. I tried configure network connection settings to both "direct connection to the Internet" and "Auto detect proxy settings for this network," but or corrects the problem. Any suggestions on this? Gotomyproxies: I appreciate the advice, but right now I can not connect to web pages is, including you suggest.

The radio connection is there, the network connection does not. (It's like hearing the radio station clearly, but the program is in a language they do not understand.) Leave the settings in "direct connection" – the problem is not with the browser. Make sure you do not have the configuration security (WEP, RADIUS, WPA) on your router. Make sure you do not have MAC address filtering enabled on the router. Make sure you have installed the driver for the card wireless. (Continued on the CD that comes with the card.) Set the computer to automatically obtain an IP address. Restart the computer and be connected to the router. After his browser connects to the Internet. (If you are doing what I suspect – trying to connect wirelessly without [wireless router that is separate from the wireless card bought] – will not work. You need Internet service, a modem and a wireless router for wireless internet – not only off the air by himself.)
