it is a Dell Inspiron 6000, it has an IP address, and all that muck, and in the Systems, everything seems to be working.. Does one need to connect the LAN connection manually through ones pc? i thought that was supposed to happen automatically when the cable went in.Do you need any other info?588

It should connect automatically, however, sometimes you have to connect the Ethernet cable (I assume that is what you are referring to as the LAN cable) then power on the PC and let it connect. If you just connect it while you have Windows running it may not connect.

Oh, in network connections, it says the local area connection *broadcom 440x 10/100... is connected, and firewalled. when i click on it, a box comes up telling me the duration of the connection, yet the internet still is not working. can this be a firewall problem? *even though the weak wireless still works occasionally? if it is, how exactly would i fix it?588

What is the IP address? And no it will not take long, go to:StartRun>type cmd and at the prompt type:ipconfig /all >> C:\ipconfig.txtGo back to the root and copy the contents of that text file here.588
