**!$£?** Networks again!!

Two desktops, main one using D Link wireless router for internet connection and (fingers crossed) seems to work OK. Second machine has D Link USB gizmo plugged in and receives 'Good' to 'Excellent' signal from main machine. Taskbar icons show network connection made and working but a check on EITHER machine for other workgroup machines only shows the specific machine being used. Attempting to make an internet connection from the second machine results in "unable to contact server" message (or some such).
I have enabled WEP on the main machine and entered the same encryption password on both but STILL no working network.
ISP Orange and OS on main is XP Pro and XP home on the second. I have used the Network setup wizard on both machines and they both report a successful setup. Any suggestions welcomed. TIA
