Q: My computer says I am connected to wifi, but when I try to connect to safari, it will not connect. If I use my neighbors wifi, all works ok. What is wrong?

My computer says I am connected to the internet. I have gone thru checks and rechecks, and computer says wifi is connected properly. But when I try to use safari, says it cannot connect. I went to my neighbors to sign on to hers, and all worked fine. Where might be the problem?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Your Wi-Fi seems to connect as a local network but not to the Internet.
Since you can connect to the Internet using your neighbour's Wi-Fi, the problem is definitely your home router.
