wireless usb 2.0 adapter not working

I recent brought a Netgear 54 mbps wireless usb 2.0 adapter(WG111 v2). It takes very long for it to connect to my wireless router and when it does it says i have excelent signal strength but when i try to use an application that uses a internet connection says im not connected. I have a linksys wireless-g broadband with speed boster router 2.4ghz (wrt54gs v3). All my wired connections work and another wirless connection on a different computer works. Please help!

I fixed it myself. I have no idea how thanks anyway.
