    Ok, so i'm not very guided on the subject of internet. Forgive me for being a noob

    Anyway, the problem is quite simply the internet wont connect. Or it will connect, but my A5920G wont seem to accept it. When it tries to identify, it simply just use a long time to identify while acheaving nothing. When its finnished im offline.

    Ive tried to restart router and all that many times, but with no succes. The connection is not cryptet, there is nothing that explains why it wont work. I find this anoying because i have to be on my neighbours network, wich has 1 mbps insted of 56.

    Oh and yeah :)

    PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:O!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It was painful to read that.

    It looks like you're saying it's not encrypted. Does the router perhaps use MAC filtering? Can any other computers connect?

    Are the other computers all wired? Or are any others wireless?

    What's the OS you use, and the OS on the other three computers? What are the makes/models of the four computers, and what router do you have?
