No Internet Connection!?

by Cheesecraker - 6/28/12 4:07 AM

Hello, I am (once again) having issues with my computer but this time I can not connect to the internet. For some unknown reason my computer cannot find my ethernet cable.

MB: (Unsure if correct) IBM ACPI Multiprocessor PC

Total RAM: 3.512 GB

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.20ghz

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 3700 series 1gb

I'm wondering if there are more hardware problems along this journey. You don't give the error message but perhaps the ethernet card has failed?

Clarification request: What does "ipconfig" say?

by Steven Haninger - 6/30/12 5:12 AM

This should be a simple process of ruling out whether or not you have a connection to your broadband modem through your router if you have one. Use "ipconfig /all" (no quotes and space between the g and /. Tell what happens. Also, look in device manager for your Ethernet controller and make sure it's says it's working. I can tell you that device manager isn't always correct and, if you want to get fancy, you do a loopback test at the Ethernet port but let's do the simple stuff first.
