do you have a wireless router if not this is the problem you are probably connecting to another wireless connection (most likely called symphony from what you have said) from another houswe this isnt illegal or anything but you are probably to far away to use it upstairs in your house. also an isp is your internet service provider it basically the people who give you internet. it is also used in wireless by the router to tell which computers are connected etc.
if u wanna get a cheap wireless router go to http://www.pcworld.co.uk and go to networking then click on wireless routers this is what you want

As you've already been informed, you'll need a wireless router or a wireless router/modem. This allows your computer to 'talk' to the modem wirelessly.
ISP is Internet Service Provider ... the people you pay to give you an internet connection. i.e., BT or a cable company.
