I can't connect to the Internet on the wireless network. I have the
desktop server connected to the broadband via Belkin Wireless G router.
I have 128-bit WWP security enabled. I have good connection to the
network on my laptop but can't connect to the Internet or add a USB
printer connected to the desktop. Both
PCs use Win XP SP2. I tried to disable the firewalls, flush the winsock
and disable security. Nothing worked. Please help.

Thank you
 
You need to test your connection with some basic tools (ping, tracert, etc.)
The information you have supplied, if this were an auto mechanics group,
would be the equivalent of "My car won't start. I've checked the gas and
oil, but it still won't start. What's wrong?". Some good initial things to
check are:

What is the IP address of the laptop?
Where did it get if trom?
What is the IP address of the AP?
Can the laptop ping the AP?
What is the IP address of the desktop?
etc....
