Need a little help :)

EDIT: Here is the story.

I went to college, was hooked up to the internet fine and dandy. I come back home, buy a microsoft wireless router for my home PC. I also get a wireless PCI networking card, also Microsoft. I spend hours on the phone with tech support, because the card won't work at all. They offer to send me a new one, which still has not gotten here.

So, I moved my computer into the same room as the other one. Plugged a networking cable into the router and into my computer. It says the Local area connection is enabled, but I cannot connect to the internet. Why?

Also, any recommendations on good wireless network cards? I'm just going to get a refund from microsoft.

Don't know what your system specs, or what OS you are runnig on each computer. For the wireless on my home computer I had to disable the LAN in Bios before I could get the wireless to work. Since you are now running a wired system and it says that the local area connection is enabled, I don't know. Few suggestions you can look at. Have you run network wizard when you connected? Make sure that the present computer is showing the correct ISP address? Make sure no firewalls are blocking the connection? Check your network connections in control panel? Run the installation disk that came with the router in the new computer?
