Can't Get Internet Cnxn Thru Wifi Even Though I Can Detect The Network

My wifi adapter is enabled. My drivers are installed. I can see that there are wifi hotspots around me. I can connect to those hotspots! I can see their subnet masks etc. if I look at the properties. I can see that some data has been sent and received.  But can I load a web page? NO. SOMETIMES I can get it work by turning the wireless adapter off and then on again. When that works, I am able to connect to that wifi network over and over again. But it doesn't always seem to work. What is going on, and how do I fix it?
