I just got a toshiba satelite (older model) with windows XP, it looks like my cable connection is good, but I can't connect to the internet. What could be the problem? Oh, yeah, the system is in Spanish, and I am not all that great with techy stuff in Spanish. Can someone help me, please?

No ip address via DHCP, no DNs servers created, no gateway set, ....
There's lots of things to check. Start with the basics.
Do you have an IP?
Can you ping your gateway via IP?
Can you ping beyond your gateway to 4.2.2.2?
Can you ping a server by FQDN? Do you get resolution?
