not sure if this even applies...but did you enter the ssid? Sometimes it broadcast them and sometimes you have to enter it. Shoudl be able to get it form the router set up page. Or wep/wap. The config page on the router should tell you whats up. You know how to get into that correcT?

okay... i am kindof able to connect lol... my uncle told me to put the MAC number in the network.... did that and now the "link" light flashes on and off, and the little internet icon says it has limited or no connectivity. Problem says that "the network did not assign a network address to the computer", and wont connect to my network
