I am using a netgear wireless router to connect to create a wireless network. When connected to the router via an Ethernet cable everything works correctly.

When connecting to the router via wireless only Google can be accessed. I've done searches via Google using random words to make sure that it is not a cached page, and these all work. However, trying to connect to any non Google domain the page fails to load.

I've accessed the connection with two different laptops, both are running Windows Vista. The network connection is strong on both, but the issue persists for both.

Edit: I have configured the wireless networks name and password, and connect to that using the credentials I have defined. I am sure I am not connecting to a neighbors wireless network.

Edit2: Typing in the direct IP address for CNN.com ( http://157.166.255.19 ) would not resolve.
