Having Internet Problems?

Question

My son recently built his new computer, but we are having trouble connecting it to the internet. When we open Network Connections, there is nothing there, we are using a LAN network, connecting through a Belkin router to our modem.

Answer 1

if you open Network Connections and find it empty

it's cause of one of the following:

1- network card is not installd as a hardware if there is a network card make sure that it's installed correctly.

2- the software driver is not installed in the system. and you can check that by right click over my computer>manage>device manager> you will find all the hardware attached to the pc . and you may found a yellow ( ? ) beside the hardware which dosen't have software driver installed

Please Edit your Qustian for more help tell me what you find and i will update the answer till the problem is solved

Answer 2

you have to "identify" wireless chipcard! wireless NEEDS identifications; but Im using linux so linux identifies it automatically :D
