Okay, so I got a laptop recently, and I bought the Belkin Wireless G USB adaptor. It says I am connected to my home network, but I can't access the internet. Any help would be great!!!!  |

Well I think you'll have to mention what operating system you have on the laptop and if your connection to the Internet is via a router

Hmmm... I'm not really sure... it may be from your ISP, blocking your laptop from accesing the internet, but then again, the router may not be set up straight... I'm not really sure!
Is the router used just to "spread" the internet connection in your house or is it like something to allow you and your neighbours to connect to the internet?

I get the same problem sometimes. Luckily, I have the same card, but my connection goes through a WALL, and the FLOOR. >.<
Have you repaired your connection?
Have you reset the router?
If neither of these works, it may be the ISP, like Larry said. if you have Mediacom, they sometimes tend to have sporadic internet connection problems (I know this firsthand).
And, of course, make sure everything is set up right. Check the CD that came with the card to see if you've got everything right.
I'd check it for you, but I don't have meh Belkin CD with me...
