    hello I'm here with a problem. Today i just went and got me a new laptop from Wal-Mart. it's a Compaq Presario f500 which is listed as F579WM at Wal-Mart. well what I'm trying to do is connect to a neighbors wireless router which is a d-link. I got a network setup on my laptop but it wont connect to the internet through it. I'm pretty sure there using windows XP on their computer. I can't figure out why it won't work for me. All and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
