hi

you have configured the router correctly?
is nat on the router?
is it a hardware firewall?
do you have a firewall?
do you have the windows firewall activated?
have you tried pinging a site?
go to start => run. type "cmd" then click enter.
write "ping www.google.com"
if it replies with "cant find hos" and it doenst find any ip and just dont send packages.. you dont have internet..
and something is wrong..
obviosly..

Best regards
