After downloading Windows XP Service Pack 2 I can no longer get on the internet through a wireless connection. My computer acknowledges that a signal is being sent, but there is a zero for recieved under Activity. I have no clue how to fix this problem.

Have you checked if your card drivers are sp2 compatible, or simply reinstalling the card may fix your problem.

Just had the exact same problem on a user's machine. Took me a while but SP2 wipes out the WEP setting on your wireless configuration screen, if you select your WEP setting, probably 128 bit and re-enter your phrase you will be back in business.
By the way Windows had also taken over the wireless so untick that too.
Hope this helps.
