Help needed with internet connection to laptop via home computor, pleeeaasse!?

I have installed a wireless router to my normal home pc that has an internet connection via ntl (im using this computor now)
I have now installed the adapter to my laptop with use of the cd. It says excellent connection to the internet, however when I open a page say yahoo, it states page cannot display! there are no other options in the set up manual? the adapter is lighting up and it says we have the net but the pages just wont diplay? please advise! much appreciated

Answers:
Check your firewall/security settings on your laptop. You may be blocking the connection somehow.
in my experience wireless routers are quite tempramental. Try using a usb or ethernet cable first, if this works the problem is probably with your wirless settings/card on the laptop. if it doesnt work the problem maybe with your internet settings on your laptop.
