The yellow explanation sign on top the the network connection means ONE THING - you did not get an IP address from the router!
This can be caused by one of two things.
1. The router didn't issue a DHCP address for the new machine. The fix is to reboot the router then try the connection again. (Just pull the power plug out of the router, wait one to two FULL minutes, reconnect the power to the router. It will take another minute or two to reboot. Then try the connection again. (You can do that by double clicking the network icon, the two little computers. Click the Support tab and click repair.
2. The computer is not set to get a DHCP address and has a static address set to the incorrect network settings. Again, double click the two little computers and support, Look at the "Support Tab" be sure the Address Type line says "Assigned by DHCP" if it says MANUAL go back to the General Tab and click the "properties button" at the bottom. Then click on the TCP/IP internet once the screen opens for those settings, click "Obtain IP automatically" and close the screens.
One of these two is doing you in UNLESS you have a bad cable.
Add: as a last ditch effort set a STATIC ip on the computer and see if it works. To set a static IP double click the computers with the yellow ! then click "properties" then click the TCP/IP (internet) line. You can enter an IP within the network range like 192.168.2.10 use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask and 192.168.2.1 for the gateway and for the DNS server 1. See if you connect.

The issue is that your computer is NOT getting a valid IP from the router.
