Internet Help

We've just got a new laptop and I am trying to hook it up using our existing internet connection.

I thought it'd be simple, just plug the cord in the laptop and go. I was wrong.

I created a new internet connection on the Laptop as I did on the Computer. Same thing word for word. Yet when I try and access internet on the laptop is says that the remote computer isn't responding. But 30 seconds later, I'm on the internet on this computer, using the same connection.

Is there another connection I have to create? Or option I haven't clicked off yet? I've been going at this for about an hour and can't figure it out. :bang:

Thanks

Is it a Dialup Connection? DSL or Cable?

Soo, you are connected 30 seconds latter on the laptop or the desktop ?
