I have tried diagnostics, using MS DOS to find the IP address and couldnt find that although it says Status: Connected. I do not know what else I've tried everything. Even connected directly to the router and said identyfying * * but wouldnt it works, my laptop and desktop computer works fine but then I know this is not the Internet, is there some configuration I'm missing? Maybe because his eyes? Please help!

You did not mention how the new computer connects to the Internet via a wireless adapter, your desktop, or directly to a cable or DSL? One of my computers must connect the cable from the radio to work for other teams. Or are you using a wireless Open (or someone else)? Anyway, my first thought is that often There are two components to connect to the Internet, while another example is "online" you do not really line up what else works well, which requires that you have the correct drivers for the device. Drivermax.com You could go and download their free software and you say that drivers are missing or update. It is a kind of pain to try to have a dozen or more drivers, but one or two does long.
