I am having some diffulculties connecting to the intermnet through my netgear wn311B adapter.
I have a strong signal saying I am connected to the router.
Maybe my IP address on the adapter needs to be updated to something else besides 169.xxx.xxx.xx

I am not entirely sure how this adpter works. It seems to work just like a wireless bridge (in fact I think that is what it is)

When it says you are connected can you browse?
What is the IP of your machine? (command prompt > ipconfig)
