Did you make sure any firewalls, HOSTS file, A-V, or other is not blocking
or limiting access?
Recheck to ensure nothing previously installed is interfering.
Also make sure your browsers are not set for proxy usage, or an old dialup
connection [always dial], or prior network..

Have you tried using the ping test routines to see if you can ping your
router, adapter, and the Internet?
You MUST use a known ping return address when pinging the Internet like
Google's.

When you disabled WEP, did you do so across the devices?

BTW: don't post MAC and SSID...
