A wireless network is a LAN (local area network). There are also
wired LANs.

Bunkey, I'd like to help you solve the problem. Please answer the
questions that I've been asking you:

1. What is the complete and exact text of the sign-on window -- every
single word in it, including the title bar, buttons, etc?

2. In the Network Connections folder, right-click your local area
network connection (or wireless connection) and click Properties.
What are all of the items listed under "This connection uses the
following items"? You might have to use the scroll bar to see them
all.

I'm sorry, but I without that information, there's nothing more that I
can do.
