I just installed a linksys wireless G car in one of my computers and the card will connect to the router but I get a message that says this connection has limited or no connectivity. My computer will not connect to the internet how can I fix this?

Is this a new router or have you used it successfully on other computers before?
Are you sure you installed the card correctly?
Did the card come with any discs/programs to install on the computer?
Are you sure you are attempting to connect to your router/connection and not someone else's?
If you are using a WEP on your connection, are you sure it is correct?

Yes I installed the card correctly and I had to go to the linksys website do download the drivers for it because the disk that came with it was for a wired lan card and it is a wireless card and I did install the correct drivers. Also the signal strenght between the router and the wireless card is excellent but it gives me the message that this connection has limited or no connectivity and you may not be able to access some or all features on the internet and it will not connect to the internet ata all. As for the wep key yes I wrote that down exactly and typed it in exactly as it showed. The routher is 2 years old but the wireless card is only 3 months old but has never been used until now.

Linksys Wireless G, same one I use. Caused me many problems in the past, and still occasionally wants to go haywire.
Anyways, go up to your routers menu, (192.168.1.1) and make sure the settings are correct. I would suggest you change WEP to PSK2 as well or if you would like to avoid problems at a higher risk then disable it. Also, check if you have it set to Wireless - G only or All Cards.. that can mess it up as well.
