You may just need to add the DNS server IP address for your ISP - I've seen that before.
 
k nvm..got it working..i just had to disable WEP encyption :D..thanks anyways
 
Hey,

If you had to disable your WEP encryption, that would mean that the network is now unprotected.... Anyone can come and have a brouse.

I would suggest that you add WPA encryption to the connection and try again. You roblem before was more than likely the wrong network key.
