Wireless Network "Connected" but Not Connected...

My router is a Linksys Wireless-G model no. WRT54G and I have another PC that I am trying to connect to it with through wireless. The wireless adapter I have is also a wireless G adapter made by Linksys and I know it works because I used it a few years ago. Anyway the Linksys Monitor program doesn't seem to work so I am trying to use Windows Wireless Network setup and it detects my Home network and lets me "connect" to it but it still says "Not Connected" and there is no internet access. I've tried a bunch of different solutions and the problem persists, can anyone shed some light on the situation?

Have you tried uplugging the router, and modem for a bout a minute, then power up the modem, wait a minute then power up the router. Second look for updated drivers for the Wi-Fi card.

What OS? Windows terminology and Linksys terminology as related to encryption can be a bit confusing, it sounds like you haven't selected the correct parameters in Windows.

Fixed

I didn't reset the router or modem at all and that was my next steb but I actually got it working. I had to disable the onboard network adapter because I guess it was trying to connect through that. Thanks for the responses though guys.
