Do you have the other equipment needed, such as a wireless router(I recommend linksys) and a high speed internet such as cable modem or dsl??

Try adding the DNS server addresses manually:
Support Center (http://kb.earthlink.net/case.asp?article=187109)
You'll need that info from your ISP.

Did you power cycle your modem and router also did you enable wireless security in your router, if so maybe you should disable until you get things going, go to your routers setup page and make sure you are broadcasting your signal,, hope this helps Chris
