Fedora 5 WLAN problem with WAN

I could use some help. I have an old HP Pavilion 6300 AMD K6 that I 
installed Fedora 5 on several weeks ago.  I finally got ndiswrapper 
compiled against the kernel and install the windows drivers.  My network 
hardware is a Dell Truemobile 1180 Wireless USB adapter connecting to a 
Dell True Mobile 2300 Router.

My problem is that I can access all my computers from the HP and they 
can access the HP, BUT I can not get outside my LAN.

The router is dhcp enabled.

My HP sees the router and connects to the LAN.  It gets the IP assigned 
to this computer.  I can see all my other computers and server in my 
home network.  Samba and Cups both are working for all computers.  The 
HP can see and access all shared locations and print and the other 
computes can access the shared locations on the HP.

I try to access www.yahoo.com www.fedora.org and  the errors I get when 
using Firefox or Konquerer are server not found.  I can access my web 
pages on my httpd server inside the LAN.

Basically all outside WAN access is not available, not from browsers, 
ftp, or telnet.

I would really appreciate some help.  Internet access from the HP would 
me my life easier and I could at least copy system information to an 
email to provide more information.

Thank you
