    If LAN works, but internet doesn't, firsrt make sure that the Default Gateway and Primary DNS Server settings on the network card are correct. Default Gateway should be the IP of the router. Primary DNS should be also the IP of the router, or the IP of any DNS server that is provided by your ISP.
