Signal strength but no connection?

[FutureIndy]

Well today I fixed my computer up again, its in my room with a wifi card, in the computer room we have the router and the main computer. Anyways the computer in my room seems to beable to get signal strength and connect to router, but its as if this main computer isn't part of it at all- I'm not getting any internet either. I don't know what happened last time I had it set up it went perfectly.

Sounds like you are not getting an IP address from the router and you are not actually "connected". Is the connection encrypted? Rerun the setup and try it again.

The connection is not encrypted. And if you mean the setup on the computer in my room, I've already done that twice. I'm not really sure which computer I should be working on to fix this.

You probably did not configure correctly, or and you are to far away.

I would do that but my internet is still not working back there, I don't think its getting a Host address- if thats important, one is not showing up in Network Connections. Anyways if somone could give me a link to indepth wireless network setup instructions that would be very nice. All the howtos I have found are much too general.

I finally networked the 2 computers, I am actually transfering files to the other one as I type. But still no internet back there, and I don't have any firewalls up- to my knowledge anyways. What should I do?
