I just installed a Netgear (MA111) wireless USB adapter to my computer. The indicator shows "Excellent" signal. I can log onto AIM, MSN messenger, Weatherbug, etc. but for some odd reason when I use IE or Firefox to browse the web, none of the pages work. When i use IE i get the "Page cannot be displayed" error. When i use mozilla, the page turns up blank.
Here's the twist: sometimes, after pressing refresh numerous times, i can get a page to load. when the page loads, the browser lets me navigate through a couple more pages, then a minute or two later, the page goes blank and the status bar indicates "Done." Totally random.
is it a network problem here? or a problem with my browsers? i still find it odd that pages load at random times.
any help would greatly be appreciated.

EDIT: I used Xp to repair wireless connection, which temporarily alleviated the problem. I could browse through the web. After a minute or so, the problem persists. I ran the repair wireless connection again, and for a minute or two, i could browse the web.
