Webuser Forums: Please help before I go bald!!!!

Hi Greysts, thanks for such a speedy response.
The plot thickens....
Ok I have established that the 'wireless' part in the laptop is working fine as I went to the pub and got online straight away without having to do anything so, I tried to connect at home using an ethernet cable and no joy, it just gets the page cannot load screen.
Is there anything I'm supposed to have bought that I am missing? The PC is in my room so I have a phone extension running from the main line downstairs (with a filter attached)and I have another filter plugged into the upstairs extention. If I only plug in the supplied DSL cable as the instructions state, when I try to go online on the PC I get the error msg that there was no dial tone. The modem on my PC is a Speedtouch ADSL USB modem which BT supplied with my broadband. If thats not plugged in then nothing works at all. Is there some other adaptor I need to get for the PC? DO I need another filter?
I'm sorry to bombard you with all these questions but your help really is appreciated!
Thankyou very much

Chezza
