One-way transmission problem (with wireless card)

After some angst I've managed to get my wireless card working, sort of, with
my laptop. (The key to the kingdom is ndiswrapper.) However, it seems to
have only one-way transmission to the Net. If I ping my router, I get the
normal echo response. But if I ping anything in the outside world (like
yahoo.com), the message goes out (the nameservers even find the right IP
address) but nothing -- nothing -- ever comes back. Similarly, I can't look
at any web pages on the Net. (This is with SuSE 10.0.)
I've looked at the Yast settings for the card but can't find anything
relevant, and my firewall is as far as I know disabled. And other computers
connected to the router work fine.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks ==
Paul
