Airport connected, but no internet/networking

Hey all,



I finally bought an Airport card (802.11b) for my iBook.



I had some probs initially because the "key" here at work was given to me in Hex and we couldnt figure it out. Anyway, we added a 0x in front of the Hex string and it accepted the "password".



The signal strength is almost perfect, and it sees everything...



Except that no net applications actually can use the network. I also tried connecting to local machines... no go. I have tried restarting the mac, also no go. I installed the latest Airport 3.1.1 update... still no go.



Airport is new to me... but I honestly dont think I've left anything out.



Any suggestions? How the heck do I select what kind of encryption to use (if any?) Could it be that I need the non Hex password?

    ok, resolved the problem. Our office has restricted the wifi service to set IPs, so they had to give me access to the network... complicated, but it worked.
