Wireless internet connection help please!

[goran23]

Hi,
I hope you can help me - I'm so frustrated!!
I just had cable installed for my broadband and had a real headache trying to connect to the internet afterwards, but discovered that I had to lower my laptop's security and then had to reset my router. All was fine until I discovered that my pc won't connect to the internet. It picks up the wireless connection (via a usb adaptor) but won't actually connect to the internet. Somebody suggested uninstalling the usb adaptor drivers then re-installing but that hasn't made any difference.
Can you help?

Welcome to Windrivers goran23

You had to lower security on your laptop - I assume you meant your firewall... what security do you have? Is it the same on your desktop?

What operating system do you have on your desktop?
