   It doesn't work! this is why I'm asking help. I plugged the cable to the   
   ethernet and to the router, it says it's connected but there is no   
   Internet available.

   I thought someone here could help me.

   OK know do you start understanding why I asked for help?   
   I have the service pack 2 CD-Rom but no way to get the SP3.

   I'm not a follower of Juventus and of sports in general, anyway I'm not   
   so obtuse not to know Juvntus is the strongest football team in Italy.   
   Obviously Juventus leads the standing of serie A, but the championship   
   started only two weeks ago.
