Connected to hotspot, but browser acts like it isn't

I've got a built in Broadcom wireless card in the laptop. I can find
wireless networks, and even connect to them. Problem is that my
browser, ftp program don't think I'm connected to the wireless network!
Is there any troubleshooting to do?

I have a similiar experience. Usually the
program is trying to connect to my "home"
ISP. I "x" it out then the hotspot workds..
