That excellent connection is likely to be the connection between your modem and your computer.
the connection to the internet goes from the bt[or whoever] socket to the modem.I think you need to check that too.
Are all the correct lights 'lighting up' on the modem display?
Do you have a filter fitted ?and is it fitted the right way around?

Which laptop is is and what Wi-Fi router are you using (I assume both are setup as standard).
It could be a missmatch in security as that sometimes happens where it says it's connected but actually it's locked out from pretty much everything. Can you see the other computer and vice versa in the network area. (though not always a useful test a more useful one is to ping the other computer)
Do you use MSN/Windows Live ?
Or it maybe something like software blocking access and the new 'network' needs to be allowed through.

Go looking for which Dell it is, ok found LGF sale thread,
so we have
DELL Latitude D505 - XP Pro, CD ROM, 512RAM, 1.6 GHz Centrino, 40GB HDD
Built in wifi (found about 10 wireless networks, 3 unsecured!)
no known faults - software has not been reloaded so there might be some chuff left over from previous owner.
I'd reinstall myself, is there and XP Product Key sticker on the bottom of the laptop ?
Anyways
If standard it should be a b/g modem (Intel Wireless 2000)
Is it connecting though the Intel software or WindowsXP standard. If possible disable the Intel software for now.
You sure you are typing in the correct password ?

P.S. a good way to kick start things is to install the drivers as it clears most things out with little hassle
