Computer won't Detect Broadband Connection

[The_Conmaster]

Hi everyone my friend just got Broadband Through Xtra Jetstream (NZ ISP) and he also got a dlink to connect to it with. Now the problem is is that when he goes to play on the net his computer asks him to connect even though it says its connected to the dlink and the bottom right and he cant do ANYTHING at all that is internet related for some werid reason. Please help me out I dont know much about dlinks or broadband and my friend is rather clueless also. =)

Yea well i guess that right xtra has a habit of being annoying and charging too much for connections and what not.
