No the router is on her puter the USB stick is on mine.
Now did I run the USB reciever program through her puter? No, I didn't know I needed to. I basicly loaded the router into hers and the USB into mine, I thought that was all I needed to do.
The big reason we need the internet connection is for my classes (U of A is moving a lot of classes to the web esp. the addictions courses.)
I thought the USB stick was how my compter picked up the signal from the router and transfered the data into my puter.
This was what Best Buy told me was the best way to share an internet connection without having to have new lines and hardwires installed and running throughout the house (which LS would frown upon.)

Sorry, you caught me in the middle of an edit... I see.
The USB dongle is how your computer is picking up the signal and transferring information. That last bit you directed at Cyn sounded like you were physically trying to connect
through her computer and
she had the wireless USB adapter. We (well, I...anyway) were a little confused.
I don't think her connection matters much other than that it is connected. If the wireless adapter is on your computer and your computer isn't connecting while others are then the problem lies with your computer, right?
The fact that your connecting to her computer from yours seems to me a good indicator that the wireless is working, at the very least.
Re-read my first post and change the settings. If it works, great. If it doesn't, ipconfig -all and post the results.
