> Just got Windows 7. Can't connect to my wireless network

Hi,

As the topic goes, I cannot connect to my wireless network on windows 7. I am using a Belkin Wireless G USB adapter via my desktop, to connect to my wireless router on the other side of the house. This was no problem when windows xp was installed previously. I have tried downloading and installing the driver for the device (successfully), yet it still refuses to work. It will identify the network, and try to connect. The best it can do is "Limited Access" which in other words, means no access because it will go straight "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I went to device manager and looked at the Network Adapters. The "Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter" shows and in properties it claims that it is working fine. Why will this not work?

Also, I have tried getting it to work in windows xp mode. Nothing. The model number is F5D7050 v5000. And I am pretty sure that I have the right drivers as I tried a bunch...

Suggestions?

Thanks
