I need some serious help.
A lightning storm occured and now my brothers computer is fried. He brought his old computer home to use that. I uninstalled the wireless card that we had for the computer that got fried. The now broken computer has been connected to the internet and fine, all i had to do was install the card and choose my wireless choice and i was connected.
But the old computer is diffrent. I installed the card and i am connected to my linksys router downstairs, but the thing is, i can't connect to the internet. AIM, IE, everything, the internet just wont work. Will someone help please?

So what im trying to say is that computer is not connected to the internet.


Major help please

It could very well be that the wireless card got fried as well. Try using a seperate external card and see if that works, and if it does, then the internal card got fried. if it doesn't, then there might be something wrong with the software or drivers.
