Wireless network fails to take me beyond my router

[Peter N. Spotts]

Folks,

I've just come across something I've never experienced: I have a laptop
connected to wifi. And I can assess the router settings with it, which
means the laptop and router clearly are communicating. But when I bring
up a browser and try to open a web page on the internet, I get an
"address not found" error in the browser.

I'm using a Linksys WRT54G-TM router. 

Two other laptops going through the same router via wifi are currently
getting onto the web with no problem.

Any thought on how to tackle this one?

With best regards,

Pete
