Make sure in the network setup screens, that TCP is selected - it should already be.

Go to Start->run, enter "cmd" and hit enter and a black dos screen should come up. Type in ipconfig. In the output, there should be a line labeled: Default Gateway : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

In this screen type in "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" without the quotes. The xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx number is the same number as the default gateway. I don't expect this to work from what you have said. All you are testing here it the connection between the PC and the router. If you don't have a Default Gateway then the PC is not getting to the router at all. The router should respond with the default gateway IP number.

Can you see other neighbor's wireless setups?

I notice that you are a XP service pack 1. Can you get a cable and plug it in to the router and get SP2 off M$. Your problems could go away with the updated Service Pack. Cables are easier to setup than wireless connections and the cable would be temporary.

IMO, SP2 is mandatory for wireless connections, it solved a host of wireless issues! You need to get your machine current with service packs, then this issue may simply resolve itself.
