sometimes routers and modems "get stupid". Try unhooking the power and ethernet cables from the back of the modem and router if you have one. Wait 10-30 seconds then plug them back in. This is one way to RESET the modem and router. YOu might have to do this from time to time. Its nothing to worry about.

Check to be sure you have the correct drivers, that's the most likely cause. Just go to the manufacturer's website and they should have them. If that doesn't work, check to make sure that the network card is seated all the way in it's slot (if it is a card, and not on-board) and if *that* doesn't work it may be fried, and you'll need a new network card.

Make sure that you have a ROUTER and not a Hub. That could possibly be your problem.

If the ethernet switch requires DC, then yes its a problem. You didnt specify.

Ouch.  Time to hit Ebay, if your old modem only had USB on the LAN side....  Fortunately lots of people sell DSL modems for not too much.  Try to use the same brand as your old one, just get a model  that has Ethernet output (so if your old modem was a Westell, get another one)

yup. if its a built in ethernet card then u gotta look for the dirvers on the net. your best bet is to try and look for the serial number. usually its a big white set of numbers and letters but seeing as how u know the model # just type it out on the manufactuer's web site. it should display a list of other drivers such as video (if its built in) and ethernet card. just remember to download the right driver =) (depending on what operating system your using)

If its the power adapter, why not replace it.  theres universal ones out there at most popular stores, and if you search the internet and hit the auction sites you should be able to find it relatively inexpensively.\n\nAs far as fixing the power adapter, Id try either doing a google search for fixing circuits, OR go down to the local bookstore and/or library and pick up a book that way.\n\nI dont know if Id be so bold as to try experimenting with the power adapter if I wasnt knowledgeable since a power fluctuation could do some serious damage throughout the laptop.\nThats up to you though

Some ethernet cards have 2 ports: one for internet, and the other for INTRAnet.  This will save you from buying a Router.

After you reboot your modem,I would also try going to Start-control panel-system-hardware-device manager. Look for your network adapter. If there is a red X on your adapter, it has been disabled. you can enable it by double clicking on it and checking enable. If there is a yellow ! you will need to reinstall the driver that came with the networking card. If everything looks good in device manager, try Start-run, type in cmd then hit enter. In the new window that opens, type in ipconfig/release. Then ipconfig/renew. when its done, type in exit and hit enter. Then retry your connection.

check the cables, if not the best thing to do is to get a repeater, instead of the acces point,,, linksys has a good one for like $60

Do the simple things first.  Shutdown the computer. Un-seat and re-seat the card.  Go the router ( I am assuming)  and unplug it.  Wait for a few seconds and then plug it in.  (These things are embedded computers and sometimes hang) Then restart the machine.  See if it works.  If not, you are going to need some hardware to figure out which piece broke.  Have someone bring thier laptop over and attempt to connect.  Borrow a card from someone and try it.

It would help if you provided more information eg state how you connect to the internet...wired modem or router or modem router.\nPeople are not going to give the best solutions to something so vague.\nIf you use a modem router try this for starters...unplug it from the mains, wait 10 seconds & then plug it back into the mains. Wait another 10 seconds & try accessing the internet again

you may need to install the driver for the Ethernet port on your computer to work. is your Ethernet connector onboard with your motherboard? if so, contact your manufacturer of your motherboard  to get a driver, or ask them who makes the chipset on the board (mostly nvidia or ATI) \n\nif your Ethernet connector is separate or in a computer port (towards the bottom of the computer box) then the default Microsoft driver may work. \n\nOpen the control panel, then go to add new hardware. Have the computer search for recently installed hardware (trust me). It should pick up the device and ask you to install the driver that Windows has for it.\n\nor if you have a disc for that part, better yet..insert the disc and run the setup. It should then install the proper drives for you.\n\nThis Nvidia link may be of help:

Do this: Start-Control Panel-if not in classic view, change to classic view, then double click on System. In System, click on the Hardware Tab, then click on the Device Manager button. A window will pop up, this is your Device Manager. Now, you should have a list of Hardware which is installed on your System. Browse down the list and look for Network Adapters. Click on the "+" sign to open and read the entries there. If there is no listing for Network Adapters, which there should be as you should have an Ethernet Adapter as the very least, then you do not have any adapters installed. That would be a rare case indeed. Now, the Ethernet Adapter will have either a 10/100 or 10/1000 desription, depending on how new the computer is and if you paid for an upgrade in the Ethernet Adapter. Look for a listing which is not designated as 10/100 or 1000, double click to open Properties and read the desription. You may also have your FireWire listed there, even though it is not really a Network Adaper. FireWire will also be listed in your Network Connections too, why I am not sure, but that is how Windows handles FireWire right now. So, FireWire is 1934 IEE, which is not a Network Adapter. \n\nThe above is the best way to see what you have installed on your sytem. This will also tell you if it is working correctly. When you open Properties, down in the first Tab is a small area which will tell you either "This device is working properly", or "This device is not working". \n\nOnce you know what you have installed you can move forward with using it for Networking. \n\nGood luck and have a great day!

- Goto MyCompter.\n- Right mouse button click.\n- Choose Device Drivers\n- Find your Ethernet controller card.\n- If it is not listed there then install the driver which is accompanied with your ethernet card(either CD/floppy).\n- Or find is there any backup available in your hard disk.\n- Or goto the ethernet card home page and download the driver for the model number.\n- Click setup.exe\n- Follow the instructions.\n- all the best.\n--------------------
