One of my computers won't connect to the internet wirelessly

hi

i can connect the internet on one computer and not the other. i have tried quite alot of stuff previous to this post to no avail. i am using windows xp home sp2 (both) and a wireless modem router (d link dsl-g624t) with a wireless adapter (d link dwl g122). i have spoken to my dads friend about this on the home while on the computer and he said something about DNS and "ghosted". i used ipconfig and it gives me the following details:

Physical address: 00-17-98-A-BD-D0-9B
DHCP enabled: yes
Autoconfiguration enabled: yes
IP address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
IP address: fe80::217:98ff:febd:b09b%5
Default gateway : 192.168.1.1
DHCP server : 192.168.1.1
DNS servers: 192.168.1.1 fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1 fec0:0:0:ffff::2%1 fec0:0:0:ffff::3%1

i have4 already tried flushdns, renew and release

lots of information but thats usually helpful.

please help me

thanks

Can you ping other computers on your network? How about if you try http://209.85.165.147/ ? Does it work?
