Connection to Internet

[Guest]

Hi, I would like to askif someone can help me.
I've recently bought a Sony VAio notebook with Winndows Vista. I also bought
a Modem Router in order to get wireless connection.
The problem is that when I plug the ethernet cable to the router I can
access the Internet but when I unplug it the Pc tell me that I have no access
to Internet. I can find the wireless connection and I can connect but the
access is ONLY LOCAL and not to the Internet. Why? My friend can easily get
the connection when he comes into my room but he has XP. WHat should I do to
find a solution? Please help me!!
Many thanks.
Veronica

When you're seeing only local connectivity, try right-clicking the Network
icon and choose "Diagnose" -- see what it says is wrong with the connection.

I did it: he said that the connectivity of my pc is limited or absent. What
should I do? I tried to follow their instruction but it didn't solve the
problem. Please give me a suggestion.

Thanks!
