Techie help please.

After many weeks of calls to the nice ladies and gentlemen in India. My new router has finally arrived.

I've got it all clagged up to the main pooter and it works fine and put the security key into the netbook (wireless).
The netbook is telling me that the signal strength is excellent and connected to the router but i can't seem to open up anything with explorer.

There's probably a box i should tick somewhere but I'm a bit flumoxed.

Bear in mind i come from an age where i can remember the first digital watches were the ones where you had to press a button on the side to display the time. So go easy.

Netbook is running windows XP.

Many thanks campers.
