I want to connect my computer to the internet (not for long, just to get Steam working) and so I tried disconnecting this computer and putting the cable into the port on my other computer which said it is now connected but nothing happens. I get into firefox and it says that my homepage cant be found and then I get into Steam and it says that it can't connect while offline. I jjust want to connect to the internet so can anyone help me?

Sometimes the router just need reconnecting? Or maybe you need to check your network configurations - IP address, default gateway, etc

Oh yeah it didn't occur to me to turn the modem off then back on. I believe thats what my flatmate does when the internet stops working.
