NETWORK SENDS BUT CAN'T RECIEVE

[Guest]

I JUST MOVED INTO MY BROTHER'S BASEMENT. HE HAS WIRELESS INTERNET. MY
COMPUTER SAYS IT'S CONNECTED, BUT I CAN'T LOAD ANY PAGES. IS THERE SOMETHING
I'M MISSING? I'VE TRIED PINGING AND IT SAID UNABLE TO REACH SERVER OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THE FIRST TIME. AND TIMED OUT THE OTHER TIMES.

Hi - first thing, unstick your Caps Lock key. Typing in all caps is
considered "shouting" and is difficult to read.

That said, you haven't given us much info. Does the wireless connection use
any encryption (WEP/WPA)? MAC address filtering? Do you get an IP address?

Since your brother set it up, can't he help you configure your computer to
use it?
