Hey everyone! I have a problem with my iBook Clamshell Laptop. For some reason it's unable to connect onto the internet

! I have the Verizon DSL Westell VersaLink Model 327W Router, and everyone keeps telling me on all the other Troubleshooting Apple forums to just
simply plug in the ethernet cord and it will work! I've tried this method, and still the internet is of no avail. Here are the statistics for my laptop if it'll help anyone on here solve my problem:
- It has Mac 9.2 set on it
- A 60 gb hard drive
- The RAM disk is set to: 100%, and the RAM disk size is: 125440K
- The Virtual Memory is set to: 300M, 56821M is available for use on disk, and 37M is available for the built-in-memory.
