Help me connect to the internet?

Hi there! In my sister's room is the router for our house. My mom's laptop can connect to our wifi as can the three iPhones, the Wii, and the Nintendo DS's. Buuuuuut my computer wont. I have a Belkin USB adapter. It can find out network and the neighbors, but it wont connect to ours. Jut to give it a shot, I tried to connect to a neighbor's. I got to the enter password screen which is farther than I can get on my own network. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jenna

    May be your router is not broadcasting the signal unless you but on manually. You can copy from your sister or mum the details and but it manually. There is also if your card is 802.11b or g and the router is not broadcasting you need to go to the configuration page of your router and change it. Good luck
