Are you connected directly to your modem, or do you use a router? What brand/model modem are you using?

To check your connection settings, go to Start > Run > type CMD > type ipconfig /all. What's your IP Address, subnet, gateway, DHCP, and DNS set to?

i use a linksys wireless-g 2.4ghz broadband router.

i got as far as typiing in CMD and than got lost.

After typing cmd in Run click enter. In command prompt type: ipconfig /all and hit enter.

Try going into network connections then selecting file>new connection and set it up from there

Other things you could try are:
1. Restart the modem.
2. Check for new drivers for the network card.
3. Turn of modem ,unplug all cables going into the modem and restart.
4. Take out the lead going in to your network card, restart the computer. When booted plug back in.
5. Contact your:
i)ISP
ii)Modem Provider
iii)Network Card Provider
