wireless issue receivng packests

I've moved to a new house with an existing network.  I decided to install a wireless router at my drop so I wouldn't have to wire-up my laptop everyday for access.

Now, I've got the wireless router (dlink DI-514 revB) working fine as long as I'm connected via ethernet cord.  I'm able to see the router, connect to the net, check mail etc.  However, when I'm connected via wireless (no ethernet cord (using Dell TruMobile 1150 mini card), XP says I'm connected, however, I'm receiving no packets.  I can't connect to the router via my wireless connection or the net.  So I'm connected, yet, not connected, if that makes any sense.

I then connect the ethernet cord and I can once again see the router and everything else.  If I check the router status screen, I can check the number of packets sent/received on the wireless.  The router is sending quite a bit, only the laptop receives nothing.  The laptop sends a few, and the router does sees those.

I've tried using no WEP, WEP, 64 bit, 128 bit, no firewall, with firewall, every time, XP says I'm connected, only I receive nothing.  I've searched the boards here, and have seen a ton of similar problems, suggestions were always, update the driver, or update the card manager.  I've done both, and there's no change.  Somebody has got to have solved this problem.  Oh, I know the wireless card did work just last week, as I was using an Airport network at my old apartment.

Somebody out there, be my hero and post a solution!
