    what is the make and model of the router? what os are you using? did you try a wireless connection from close range? what is your signal strength? how did you orient the antennae?

    Did you try the guides here first? Best of Networking

    the antenna have a donut shaped range. point the antenna directly at the pc won't help. have the antenna of both the pc and the router horizontal and try again.

    make sure that SSID broadcast is enabled on the router. remove any security until you get the connection set up. Then you can put on your WEP/WPA armor.

    Use the Home Networking wizard on the PC.

    I have to say that I'm disappointed that you didn't read the instructions enough to know that there is a way to configure the router.
