Do you have any Privicey options set on the wireless router?
Does your router restrict connections by MAC address? We had a problem with a Netgear router when we added another wireless lappy. Come to find out that we needed to add its MAC address to the list of allowed machines who can have access. |

It says connected, but can you verify you are? FTP, SSH, anything other than a browser.
Doesn't sound like you've determined if maybe the wireless card is the culprit. |

Also,
Make sure your connection is using auto detect settings. We got hosed by that once when it was looking for the gateway IP that wasnt their. |

Unplugging for 30 seconds, both the router and cable modem usually does the trick for me.
Sometimes getting the Macs back online after something like this can be a real pain in the butt. |
