Help with my internet connection.?

Question

I was online FINE on Windows Vista and then I turned off my computer. A few hours later, I turn it back on and it won't connect to the internet (thru ethernet) and I diagnose it and it says there is no cable plugged into Local Area Connection, but there is!! I got a brand new ethernet cable, plugged it in my PC and modem, and it still says that there is no cable plugged into Local Area Connection! Help!

Answer 1

There are nothing wrong with the software.

Check the following items:

- Check Disconnected lan cable:

* Loosen LAN terminal lock(broken plastic snap). check the LAN terminal

* Untight, broken cable. check the LAN cable

- Disconnected modem. check modem line and the power for the modem.

- Disconnected Hub power.

- Disconnected Wifi Router

- or if it still happen, Reinstall the the modem

Answer 2

Your modem may not be sending a signal through the cord or your ethernet port may not work. Try getting a new ethernet port or take your modem back or get a new one.
