BTW, please turn off caps-lock.  It is considered shouting and very rude; so, now you know.
Dell Latitude X300
As far as I can tell, your wireless is working just fine up to the router.  Is your internet connection cable, DSL, or satellite?
Your wireless is not built-in; you purchased an add-in card?  The Medialink?
Are you using the X300, now?  If so, ignore the message, it has nothing to do with internet connectivity.

sorry about the caps;I am not using that laptop now;;my internet is through cable;

when I used the computer before I just turned it on and had the internet;this is why I assumed it has a built in wireless;now,because the internet does not come I am using the medialink card which was bought separately and usuallu used by my husband on his;

Your laptop also has a wired connection.  Looking at the left side of the laptop, it's the 2nd port from the left, just to the right of the telephone modem connector (which you are not using).  It also appears that your wireless is not really a card, but a USB adapter (bold above); the one from your husband's computer.
Your laptop may have a wireless minicard;  Look on the bottom of the laptop and post the Service Tag.  With that, we can tell exactly what's in there.
Does the laptop need to be wireless?
Did it used to be wired?
Can it be used wired, now?

the service tag is 9FBWW41
I don't know if it was used as wired before me;I need to use it as a wireless,I can not use it as wired;

thank you for the help!!!!

Your computer(click-me)
You do have a wireless card:
J0846   Card, Wireless, Mini PCI Card, Broadcom Corp.2.4GHz

Now we have to determine why it's off.  Remove the USB one prior to doing anything else.  Then shutdown & restart.  Having multiple wireless can confuse WinXP.
You'll have to do some research; at the link above, look at the list of topics on the left; click on Troubleshooting.  Under FAQ in the middle, look at 2 topics
Troubleshooting a Wireless Network
Connect To A Wireless Network

You may have to download and install the wireless drivers from the 1st page.  I would do it anyway, just in case.  I'm not sure which one it is.  Maybe this one (usually not this hard to figure out):

At the very least, you will gain some knowledge.
