Default Have WiFi connection but no use of the internet

Hi All, Hope you can help!

I have a Mio 168 running PPC2003 which connects to a wireless network created using a Belkin Wireless Router through a Sandisk WiFi SD card. The card picks up the connection without problem and has a good signal in most parts of the house and even the garden.Problem is......it wont connect to the internet!!! When I try and get a page up on IE it says "page not found" or when I try and sign in to MSN Messenger it says "service not found, make sure you are connected to the internet" (or words to that effect).
I've tried disabling the routers firewall..still nothing and even followed the instructions given on here for someone with a similar problem but using an Ipaq
QUOTE.....I am using the same iPAQ at home but have a different Access Point. Tap on START ---> SETTINGS ---> CONNECTIONS ---> CONNECTIONS ---> ADVANCED ---> SELECT NETWORKS and change each pulldown menu to "My Work Network" then go back a page and tap on NETWORK CARD and tick "Automatically connect to non-preffered networks" then tap on NETWORK ADAPTERS and select WORK for "My network card connects to:" at this point you can make sure you have the iPAQ set to obtain IP address automatically by tapping the iPAQ WLAN Wireless Adapter and selecting "Use server-assigned IP address". You will then get a message saying that the settings will take effect the next tim you use the adapter...reset the iPAQ now by pressing the reset button on the left-habd edge and you should now be able to wirelessly connect to the net....I hope

Its ok everyone!!! : )

I read a few more of the posts on here, namely one that mentioned about 11b and 11g.
I had set my router to use "Long range 11b and 11g"

As soon as I changed it to just 11b it worked fine!! I just liked the sound of " long range"

That'll teach me to mess wiv stuff

The quote I included above definitely helped tho, but bits of different posts also helped.

Thanks
