I was able to connect a XP Home client with a Belkin N+ wireless router. Although connection is made, the XP Home client cannot browse interent through the Router gateway. It appears that no packet can be received from the router. In addition, I changed the connection of the XP Home client with the router by using a direct wire. Internet can be browsed successfully with this setup. It can be concluded that the problem was not caused by WAN setup of the router. Please assist.

It sounds like the wireless adapter isn't getting an IP address. Run ipconfig /all from a command prompt & post the results.

Now do a ipconfig with just the wired connection that works and post it here.

excellent. Both look correct and functional. Did you set up encryption on the wireless? I would suspect this is where the issue resides. You can test by having no encryption at either end. The weakness in wireless encryption is getting a common encryption protocol between devices. For example the wireless card may only support wpa whereas the router supports wpa2. Start by finding a protocol that both router and wireless nic have in common. You also appear to be doing static assignments. Make sure the wireless is not set for dhcp as this can cause issues also.
