Cant connect to the internet

1
Hi i have a Dell Latitude D830 that I havent used in quite some time (about 6 months) because I didnt have a power cord, now that I have one I cannot connect to the internet. The laptop worked fine before I lost the cord. Here are the specifics: I have DSL thats capable of wi-fi throughout the house. When I try to connect, it says: "Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Page", but my taskbar and wi-fi says "connected" and the signal is green. Also I tried to ping but it says: "Can not find host". Someone suggested doing something with the TCP/IP but when I right click on it, to look at the properties, i get a message that says: "In order to configure, you mus install and enable a network adapter card". My other laptop works fine. Please help. Thanks

What is the IP Address? (Start menu -> Run -> cmd and press enter. Type in ipconfig and press enter)

What did you attempt to ping? The wireless router or something on the internet?

Try pinging the IP address of your wireless router (in the ipconfig output from above, it will be your 'Default Gateway' probably something like 192.168.0.1) and post the results.

If that works, try pinging yahoo.com and post the results.
