How to connect my PC to Residential Gateway.
I need 2 connect my pc (running vista) 2 a Ethernet connection(which is offered free in our flat). i have a Realtek Ethernet card installed in my comp, I have plugged in a RJ45 connected to the PC and the other end to the RJ45 mount on the wall.
There network connection is on but the internet is not working…
I receive an message that there is limited connectivity or no connection
I tried contacting the flat system admin to fix the internet However(the smart A$$ guy would not give me details, and he need 40 $ to come and set it up..)
He say the the internet connection is totally free and his charge is 40 $ to set things up.
I don’t want to pay him, i want 2 configure the internet myself with out his assistance.
I have limited knowledge in networking, hope the screen shots below will give u an idea..

To my knowledge the free Internet’s ip,gateway,and dns address is hidden..(Correct me if iam wrong)
I checked with my neighbor regarding the flats free internet, he is able to connect to the internet with out any hassles , He is running Vista on XPS Laptop,he just plugs in RJ45 and he does not do any configuration, it works fine for him..
He came home and and checked my system,he doesn’t know much about networking just like me..
Iam lost now .. I really need to do something..
Appreciate if some one can help me with this issue..
What steps should i follow to successful connect to the internet.
