It would really help if we knew the operating system being used, the model of the laptop, and the age of the computer.
1. If you connect the laptop to the router through an ethernet cable, does it work correctly? If so, then I'll guess you don't have the correct wireless adapter driver installed. Visit the computer manufacturer's website and download, then install, the correct wireless driver for your computer.. If that doesn't work, then visit the wireless adapter manufacturer's website and download, then install, an updater driver for your wireless adapter.
2. If you've incorrectly typed the wireless access password, you may need to delete the "remembered" connection information, then try to connect from scratch.. Unfortunately, since you didn't give us your operating system, I can only tell you the stored connection information is in the Control Panel-Network Connection properties, under the Wireless Networks tab.
Hope this helps.

</font><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt;">After formatting my hard
disk and reinstalling windows xp (followed by the drivers) on my Fujitsu
Siemens laptop , I am unable to connect to internet. I use a linksys router and
connec to it by wireless. In the taskbar , the icon for the wireless network connection
shows that it is connected to the linksys router but i am unable to connect to
any website.Before formatting and reinstalling windows xp, I was using the same
laptop with the same router without any problem .Also, I am able to connect
to internet using another laptop through the same router . Obviously something
has gone wrong after reinstalling windows. Another thing I have noticed that
although the task bar icon of wireless network connection shows that it is
connected to the router, i am unable to get access to the router after typing
192.168.1.1 in the address bar of the internet explorer in the problem laptop
but no such problem in the other laptop . I have intel pentium processor and
internet explorer as my browser.<?xml:namespace prefix =" o" ns =" "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"" /><o
