I cannot connect my PC laptop to my wireless network in Windows Vista. I also have a Mac and have no problem connecting to the wireless network with it. With the PC, the network comes up in the list, I click on it and then put in the network password, but even though it says I am connected to the network with an excellent signal I cannot go online. When I put my mouse on the wireless icon it says:

Unidentified Network (my network name) Access Local Only.

I have rebooted both the modem and reset the router but I still cannot get online. Any ideas how to rectify this problem?
