Its a 1 story building and I am about 60-70 feet outside in a car from the router..... Now, it says that its connected to the router, but it won't go onto the internet? It receives and sends packets aswell? The signal strength is low, about 2 bars I don't THINK its password protected, because it says the connection is unsecure? What am I doing wrong that I can't log onto the internet thru this connection __________________ <marquee scrollamount=4 bgcolor=\"#000000\">Desktop: 3.0ghz HT 800fsb P4, Chaintech 9CJS Zenith, 2x 512mb GEIL Dual Channel DDR400, 80gb 7200rpm ATA HD, Sapphire X800 XT Platinum Edition, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, Logitech Z-5300e 5.1 THX Speakers, Turbolink 420watt PSU, Black 19\" Orion Monitor, Logitech MX Duo and Win XP Home</marquee> <marquee scrollamount=4 bgcolor=\"#000000\">My Wishlist: 74gb 10K SATA Western Digital Raptor...</marquee>
