What did it say then? If you are connecting to the correct network access point with the correct pass key then you should have the internet. Can you ping any addresses while connected?

ok,

if it brings up an ip address beginning with 192.168.x.x
then you are really connected to the router, and the issue is either with IE settings or possibly firewall.

If it doesn't bring up a 192.168.x.x then you aren't connected properly, and need to look at your wireless issues.

One thing you could try is to plug your laptop direct into the neighbours router, this will rule out wireless issues.

type ipconfig /all

You can copy and paste in the window that appears by clicking the icon in the top left corner of the window and using the resulting menu.
