Default am at a loss - no internet connection


ok i have an odd problem. worse thing is i am not good with this
internet network stuff.

i moved into this place a year ago and could not connect to the
ethernet there with my computer. had several people look at it to no
avail. it just mysteriously would not let me access the internet even
though it showed i was connected.

borrowed a family member's mac laptop, that connected just fine, but i
had to give it back right away.

borrowed another desktop pc from parents and that connected with
ethernet just fine. used it for a few months....then lost the connection
when the line i was connected to was changed to wireless. i could not
connect to that with the same computer even though it was setup for
wireless.

i then borrowed a toshiba notepad (i do not have the funds to buy new
computers) which connected to the wireless just fine.

then the other day, while i was surfing the web, it lost the
connection, permanently. the wireless connection in the main house that
i am connecting to has never been disturbed throughout this whole thing.


i have tried connecting to other networks but it won't connect to
anything now, anywhere. it did before.

i have no idea what happened. this problem has been going for so long
and i have asked in so many places but i either don't get any responses
or i get ones that i don't understand because i only know some of the
internet lingo and then they lose patience with me...but i am going to
keep trying because i really miss having internet.
