May be a multiple of problems.
It is connecting as you are pinging it.
However check the firewall settings. Also how it is setup (wireless.)
I assume you have security turned on for the wireless access
point. Remove all previous profiles and try and create a new
profile. Check the way it is setup to connect to the Access point
(wireless card setup) All of these can be suspect.

My husband, Bob, has two Dell Inspiron and one Latitude notebooks he
bought for his middle school library 2 years ago to lend to teachers
when they need to use them. He lent one of the Inspirons out last
week, and when he got it back he couldn't connect to the Internet
via WiFi. It does connect via ethernet. I don't know if any students used it.
The card turns on, has good reception, sees the wireless
modem/router. I can ping it OK, but can't connect to the modem,
Internet or anything else. Bob proceeded to go through all of the
settings he could think of, but no luck. Nothing else seems to be
broken. The notebook is running XP Home, and connected fine with
WiFi before the last time he lent it out.
Which settings is he missing? WiFi card was installed when he got
the notebook--Broadcom, driver v.3.100.35.0.
