My computer is not connecting to my secure wireless network. The network shows up sometimes when I click on "view wireless networks". When I try to connect to it, either connects but the internet still does not work, or it just does not connect at all and still shows up on the list of options. There are two other computers that connect wirelessly to the network, and one with a ethernet cable that plugs into the router.
The router is a belkin router I brought back in Feb. The network is secure by WPA. My wireless driver is a Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN.

Check the firewall settings on the machine in question.

Disable WPA encryption on wireless router temporary, then test to connect again. If it works, then most probably you did not key in the correct WPA key. Still cannot connect to wireless network? Check here! Hope it helps..

I can connect to my secure network now, but when it is connected I get "limited or no connectivity", or it is connected and but I can't access no webpages. I tried resetting the router and the modem.

Make sure you enable DHCP setting on wireless router and configure wireless adapter to obtain IP address automatically. After that test to connect to Open network (without encryption) again. If it works, then enable encryption on wireless router and test to connect again.

DCHP is enabled and router is set to obtain IP address automatically. Still no interact connection. Still getting "limited or no connectivity" or I'm connected to the network but no internet.

When it's connected, type ipconfig /all and check whether it displays correct IP, netmask, gateway and DNS server info. You can paste your result here too.. Then try to ping the gateway IP and see whether it works.
