Re: Network Issues??
hi,
I think your service will be blocked by your internet service provider so contact your service provider.

Well,If its any help when i moved in,i connected to the wireless network but..
Still no internet.I called AT&T and they changed my IP and internet works now.
Maybe i should check the settings on my roomies computer(firewall,etc)
