Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers
Are you connecting to a router?
And if so, when you plug in the ethernet cable from the computer into one of the ethernet ports, is there a LED flashing?Also check, whether the network card is shown correctly in the device manager.
alright, i got it fixed, i needed to install the driver for my hardware, stupid me.
