X51 connects to network but not internet

I have a problem connecting my X51 to the internet using my wireless home network. It will connect to the network (which is running WPA security) but it will not display any websites or receive email. I have turned off the power saving for networking and I have manually set the IP adress and DNS servers to the correct entries. I have tried connecting using both the Dell WLAN client and the Odessey client. The Dell WLAN clients says it is connected and the Odessey client is sending and receiving packages but neither will connect to the internet. The internet connection is good since it is working on other computers on the network.

I cannot think of any more possible problems or solutions. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

That link is not working right now for me, but I did check the wifi guide here.

When I am connected with the Odessey client I can ping the wireless acces point, router and this computer but I cannot connect to the internet. When I am connected with the Dell client I can not ping the acces point but it does indicate it is connected.

Hmm..the link works just fine from here (just tried it). Anyway, did you make sure your Network card is set to connect to Work under Configure Wireless Adapters (Figure X51-9) and that it is set to connect to the Internet under Configure Wireless Networks (Figure X51-11)? (This is using the Dell client.)

Also - have you tried to use an IP adress to get to the outside?
So you know it's not a DNS issue.
In case it is - some routers don't route DNS packets correctly, so you need to set the router IP as DNS server.
