Firefox will not connect to the Internet with wireless, only land line, and all firewalls are off?

Firefox runs well with my Windows XP Compaq Laptop and connects well to the Internet with my DSL Broadband service. My antivirus-internet security software and firewall is set to give Firefox an exception. Two weeks ago I bought a Sprint Wireless Hotspot. It connects fine with strong signal but when I try to use Firefox to do a computer search, I get a window that says "server cannot be found". I have shut off all firewalls and it still happens. When I switch back to DSL land line, everything works fine. I am not sure what to do. Can anyone help? Thanks much.-Bern
