Answer 2

Hello from the Tech:

You can check a couple of things here,

1 go to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager and check that there is no yellow symbols under the Network Adapter Drivers and ensure it is working properly.

2 go to Start > Control Panel > Network connections and ensure that the network connection has not been disabled.  If it has there will be a red X to enable it you can right click on the connection and left click on enable.

If these two do not work you can hit delete when the computer starts and follow to integrated perifials to see that the ethernet card has not been disabled in the Bios.

Again if all of this is true you will have to change out the network card of add a new one. If this is the case you could purchase a new one and ask for help on replacing one.  Do no pay someone like Best buy to change a card for 100 bux. This is a simple task which you could be walked through quite easily.

Have a gr8 day,
