DESKTOP: WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL
LAPTOP: WINDOWS XP HOME WITH SERVICE PACK 2 PREINSTALLED

I have a WRT54GS linksys router connected to ntl:home modem on windoss xp professional PC, i am recieving internet access on the host PC.

I also have a linksys wireless adaptor on a laptop PC for wireless connection. The laptop picks up the wireless connection but cannot get internet access.
When I ping the IP address of the router on laptop it recieves all packets, also when i ping the IP address assigned to the laptop from the wireless connection it also recieves all packets. However no websites can be accessed or pinged, internet access is not available.

Will this be something to do with the setup of the router? As certain ISP settings apply for NTL, but I'm not aware of these, any one aware of the settings for NTL for example is it static IP, or automatic DHCP, and what are the DNS servers etc and other info that is needed. Do I need to port forward for internet access what is the standards in this?

Thanks for any help in advance.
