You don't mention a internet connection or router. Do you have one?

if so the first step is to logon to it and check the dhcp/encryption settings

If not the owner of the router you were connecting to decided to secure their router which then denies you access.

Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
