I am having major problems connecting wirelessly from my Windows 98 PC to my NTL modem.

I have an NTL 250 modem and this connected to my PC gives me internet.
I then purchased a Belkin G Cable Wireless Router and followed the on screen instructions to connect it to my modem with wireless set with 128 bit WEP encryption. It installed successfully. If I connect an ethernet cable to my wireless router I still get internet - so far so good.

I then installed the Belkin G USB Wireless Adapter to my PC as per on screen instructions. After rebooting the Wireless Monitor says that it can find my Wireless Router so I select it and click Connect. It asks me to set up a profile so I set up 128 bit Open Access encryption and connect. The Wireless Monitor tells me that I have connected successfully to my Wireless Router but not to the internet

Connecting an ethernet cable from PC to wireless router again works giving me internet. I can web browse the router using ip address 192.168.2.1 while the cable is plugged in but can not if the cable is unplugged. Where am I going wrong?
