Hi Indie:

Obviously, inability to connect to the internet is caused by one of two components: (1) the thing connecting to the network or (2) the network connected to the internet. We know that component (2) is working because you can connect using a cable. So let's look at your computer. When you try to connect to a wireless network, what do you see? Does it come up with any available networks? Does it have an error message? Does your wireless internet have a passphrase you need to put in?
