Wireless Router Issues

I'm trying to get wireless internet to a second computer(XP) at my work. The main hardwired computer uses Vista, if that matters. The router is hooked up and all software is installed and ready to go. It shows that I have a connection on both computers but I'm still not able to use my browser. I guess there is a setting that's not right or something? I can give more information if needed. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Run ipconfig /all from a command prompt on the machine that's giving you trouble and post the results.

I will do it as soon as I can. I forgot to mention(sorry!) that when I tried to repair the connection, I get a message that says something about having different networking program selected? I'm not sure how to select the appropriate program. I'm guessing that it's saying that I'm using the Windows Network software instead of the Linksys program? Thanks again!

I never use any of those programs to set up a network. I do it all manually.

A message pops up that says "windows cannot find ipconfig/all etc..." ?
