Since you said you could connect to your neighbor's network, I'm assuming you have a wireless network. \nOn the computer that won't connect:\n1. Distance/interference?\n2. Any firewalls?\nOn the router:\n1. Any MAC or packet filters?\n2. Updated Drivers?

Pls check the Internet connection proxy and then proceed.This happens because the browser is not able to detect the Internet connection.

Im assuming you are trying to bring up your router setup. Check your cables if this is the case. A bit more info would help.

First off, is his router wireless? if its cross house I hope its a dual antenna and possibly needing a booster antenna. Then you need to use your laptops wireless software to search for available wireless networks. Then see if his network pops up and try to connect, it may ask for information(wep numbers and whatnot) that only your neighbor can get through his router setup software.\n\nif the network does not appear on your laptop that means the connection is not strong enough and you need a better router or the antenna kit for larger distances.

What you have is an ADSL Gateway router! It is a wonderful device which will have multiple ethernet ports, DSL port and 1 or 2 wireless antennas. Here is the connection diagram:\n\nLAN Side: Within your home\nEthernet 1: PC1(use this to configure your router if needed)\nEthernet 2: PC2 (if any non wireless)\nEthernet 3: PC3 (if any non wireless)\nEthernet 4: PC4 (if any non wireless)\nWireless: to as many laptops that have an 802.11g wireless PCI/USB adapters\n\nWAN Side: from your home to internet\nDSL port (WAN): directly to a phone line.\n\nThe internet is accessed via the DSL line and information is routed into your home gateway which then bridges data to individual PCs.\n\nYou use ethernet to connect desktops or a laptop with which you wish to configure your router. Otherwise laptop is best connected via wireless. Check the wireless connection that your laptop is connected to and that it is yours and not a neighbors!

try switching the adapters in your laptops(if they are compatible)....if it works in your other laptop you know it's a software issue.\n\nif the above isn't a solution try removing the wireless adapter and rebooting the machine to reinstall. to do this:\n\nclick on start, settings, control panel\ndouble click on system\nselect the hardware tab, then device manager\nclick on the plus sign in front of network adapters\nright click on your wireless adapter and select uninstall.\nreboot your computer and let XP reinstall it.\n\nif this doesn't work then the wireless adapter is defective in which case will need to be replaced.\n\nGood luck!!!

Disable the network adapter or pull the cable or take the adapter out or shut down the modem... it's your choice!\nMost people have the opposite problem :-)

check if your local area network is connected to the internet in the connectiviy in your start menu in the system.. there is no server coz it needs a host in able to connect to the internet without t, all the display is not found and internet is impossible.

There should be an icon on the right bottom corner that has a bubble that pops up when it detects wireless internet. Apparently your computer has a built-in wireless card so it should pick up signal. It is probably turned off, you can turn it on by going to the bottom right corner and looking for the icon with the little signal bars (sort of like on ur cellphone). Right click it and see what the status is, you might be getting low connectivity that does not allow you to connect. If it's not on, turn it on (enable). Your internet should work, it might not the first couple of times you open internet explorer (or whatever browser you use), but it will. Try it out at a library, coffee shop, or any place that offers free wi-fi.\nHope this helps

G'day,\n\nI would say that there may be interference between the router and the 'problem PC'.  Try to move the PC closer to the router (or vice-versa) and see if you still have the same problem\n\nIf problem persists, you may have corrupted driver or faulty network card.  Try re-install the driver.\n\nGood Luck!

What version of windows are you using? Do you know if you have Windows Service Pack 2? If not, that is probably what's wrong - download the latest Windows Updates from the Windows Update website (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/)\n\nDo you know if your computer is set to automatically connect? To check, do the following:\n\n1) Go to Start menu ---> Settings ---> Network connections (Or alternatively, Control Panel ---> Network connections)\n\n2) Right click on the connection that is connecting to the router, and select 'properties'. You should see a list of protocols - like, TCP/IP and Windows File and Printer Sharing.\n\nClick the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selection, and hit 'Properties'.\n\n3) You SHOULD see that 'Obtain an IP adress Automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server addresses automatically' are both selected. If not, select them, and press ok.\n\n4) Once this is done, try unplugging/reconnecting your wireless card, if you can.\n\nIf none of this works, there could be a number of reasons:\n\nYour computer is too far away from the receiver.\nYou need to update your Windows to the latest version.\nIf you are using a router, the router may be encrypted.\nYour network card could be faulty.\n\nI'd suggest finding someone that knows about computers and networking that lives nearby to come and help you with it all. You can only explain so much on the Internet!

I am not sure I understand your question completely but I am still going to attempt to answer it. If your laptop has a wireless card, you can connect to the internet provided that \na. either you have a wireless router with wireless enabled.\nb. there is a wireless network in the vicinty of your laptop.

Though the answer above may potentially solve some issues I don't think it will fix yours. \n\nThe answer would depend on a few things. \n\nWhat kind of internet connection do you have at home? if it is a broadband connection (high speed dsl, cable, satalite) then you could get a Wireless router from best buy or walmart or almost anywhere anymore. Follow the directions that come with it and that will allow both computers on at the same time.\n\nIf you don't want to buy a router then you can simply plug the Ethernet cord (oversized phone cord) from the desktop in to your laptop then call your service provider for assistance from there.  \n\nIf you are using Dial up then your best bet is to install the same ISP software on your laptop as you use on your desktop and set it up the same way then just plug into the phone line.

You might have to go into the configuration, IDK if you have done it yet or not because you didn't specify. But go into your internet explorer and type in http://192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.100 and you might have to enable wireless through that. I have had that same one, I now moved to the WRTG5B or some shit. =) lol. . . You have to enable wireless, to test if your router is even working if you have an extra network cable, plug it into the router then hook it up to the laptop and see. It also could be for the fact I think that specific router is only B capable? Maybe...check your laptop to see if it is both B & G wireless ready.
