Er, why not screenshot what you're seeing?

alt+prtsc and paint i am using!

What do you mean you dont see an option? Just hit alt+prtscn, open up paint, hit ctrl+v, save it, and then upload it and show us. I dont see where the problem is.

i dont see an upload option, will a bluetooth device help? just asking.(not with uploading)
EDIT: OH, now i see it! just wait, i'll get that picture when i get home!

The settings you see using ipconfig are the attempted settings your computer is using to connect to the router, to make sure that the information you see using ipconfig is correct, you first need to be able to browse the internet.

If you can browse the internet but not connect to your router using the default gateway listed in ipconfig; then I may just quit my job.

i can connect my router to the gateway (i think) and i CAN browse the internet but the computers refuse to detect the router, and when they DO detect the router, i cant browse the internet with the computer(s).

EDIT: i've solved the problem, a friend of mine told me i need to connect the router directly to the computer (which is a pain in the ass) or get a network card/wi-fi card.

PLEASE oh god PLEASE tell me this was a joke.

Oh I think it's very likely to be true. It's not the first time I've encountered something like this, and it's often from people who don't understand how networking works.
