new laptop , wanted to share connection but doesnt work

hey i just bought a brand new laptop and i wanted to share my current home dsl connection with my laptop so i got a router , dlink di524, and i installed it. i went to set up the network and i did , i copied it onto my usb drive and put it in my laptop. After all of this my laptop connects to the network and it says im connected but when i try to go online it says im not online at all , did i miss something?

 

Sorry, is this wireless or wired router?
Also check your internet connection settings and see if the router is allowing your laptop to connect.

 

this is a wireless router, ( dlink , dl-524) and im thinking i set it up wrong because in order for me to actually connect to the network , my main comptuer has to be on and when im connected at full signal i still cant go online

 

You can have a strong signal but the configuration might be wrong.

May be this can Help.
