Ok well I got a wireless card for my laptop and it finds my router and connects with no problems but then when I go to Internet explorer it says page cannot be found or dns error. What do I have to do does this have to do with me having the windows xp pro sp2 because I've seen many forums saying that the sp2 had many bugs with the networking. So if you guys know what I should do that would help alot. I also might consider installing the Windows xp home edition.

Do you have your router configured right?

this is a common problem... check your router config and copy down the 2 dns's that it uses... then go to your comps config and take it off auto [for dns] and add those DNS's the router uses... and you should be set to go.

well, I tried to paste the dns on my computer but it still doesnt open up a page but it does connect to the router. I'm going to get a new os put into it because supposably the sp2 has issues.

On your laptop, open a command prompt by clicking on Start, clicking Run and typing 'cmd' (without ') and enter.
Type 'ipconfig /all' and then paste here the following info:
IP Address
Default Gateway
DNS Servers
And we can try and help you some more.

Well, I got my laptop back and I loaded mozilla into it still wouldn't work and when I typed in cmd in run it comes up with a whole bunch of nonsense and crashes. I think im just going to get windows 98 put back in it.

Shizzniz, installing another web browser won't fix your DNS problem. Reverting from XP to Win98 is not a good move either.
If opening a command prompt (cmd) is crashing your computer, Windows XP probably has a fairly serious corruption, so I recommend reinstalling that first.
When you can get to a command prompt, do the ipconfig/all and post your results, and we'll try to troubleshoot your DNS issues.
