Comment: I have a small network set up at home w/ two computers connected to a router. I have a cable modem connection to the Internet, which the router goes through the cable modem. On one computer I can connect to the Internet and it had an Ethernet card put in there by the cable guy. It is on the 2nd computer in another room in which I'm having a problem though. I can't get that computer to connect to the Internet. The browser always returns the can't find server message. In that computer I have an Ethernet card installed as well with the driver software installed properly. However, it is a different Ethernet card, one that came with a prior home network kit I had. As far as I know I have everything set up and connected correctly for both computers to communicate through the router and modem to get to the Net. Is there a possible issue with there needing to be the same exact Ethernet cards used in all computers on the same network? They're both 10/100 mb ethernet cards, but by different vendors. I didn't think that would be relevant. Nothing I've tried has worked. Does anyone know why I can't connect to the Internet from the other computer? Please help.
