PC able to connect to Aiport Extreme but not to internet

I have a HP Laptop G60-244DX with Windows Vista and an 802.11b/g wireless adapter that would connect to the Aiport Extreme but wouldn't connect to the internet. However, it would have internet access on other wireless networks.

I tried updating the adapter driver, but there was no new update available. I tried a Microsoft fix that did not work. I tried to disable the n band on the airport express...that did not work.

Finally, I purchased and installed a $45 n nano USB Wireless adapter and IT WORKED!!!
 
Someone told me that change the Airport's channel to 1, 6 or 11 may solve this. I don't know whether it exactly works.
