PowerBook can't surf wireless

I've got Linksys(BEFW11S4) wireless(802.11b) router running great. Its sharing the internet to my desktop Mac & PC, and Airport wireless works great on my Titanium G4.
However I purchased a Linksys 54G wireless card for my PowerBook G3 (lombard) and cannot surf the internet.
The PBG3 can see the router's SSID and receives a valid IP address through DHCP. WEP is disabled. The network control panel says Airport is running and connected to wireless network but Safari's activity monitor just says it 'can't find host'. The Linksys 'G' card seems to be working and I updated the router firmware to 1.45z. Like I said earlier, the wireless is working on the Titanium but I would like to more use out the Lombard.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
