Ensure that your ethernet drivers are installed. Also navigate to the Control Panel and double click "Network Connections" or "Charge Network Adaptor Settings" for Windows 7.
Now right click eithernet connection and select properties. Select Internet Protocol and click Properties. (IVP4 if using Windows 7.)
Ensure that "Obtain automatically" is selected, then click ok and close. Try to connect to the internet in 2min.
If this does not work then either your router needs to be setup or you are experiencing a hardware problem.
Maybe the laptop is configured by default to look for a wireless signal through its wifi drivers, or a different previously installed modem. Go to your Computer/Control Panel/Network Sharing Center and set up a new connection there so your computer knows what to do.
by making sure your wireless card or eithernet card still has working drivers installed in windows or mac
Please check by going to control panel, system, then Device manager to see if there are any issues with your eithernet or wierless drivers.
If you see any red "X"'s where the names of the wireless or ethernet cards are, you need to reinstall the drivers again. Go to the manufature's web site to pickup the drivers and reinstall them.
If that does not work either a malicous softwrae is preventing you from getiing into internet or the cards are broken and need replacing.
This is not posible becouse if you want to use in your ssytem,you need to install eithernet drivers becouse without LAN or eithernet drivers you not able to show or connect the LAN connection.
When you purchase a system ,you collect a motherboard cd ,eithernet or LAN drivers already present in that CD,if you have not a CD,go to cyber cafe and download the approperiate drives .
power down cable modem, router, and computer. Connect ethernet cable from modem to router/ and connect ethernet cable from router to PC. Power up cable modem first, after modem shows connectivity, plug in router. After router shows internet connectivity, start computer. Be sure that you LAN card operable
But if you have trouble installing the cd, follow these instructions: Router setup You do not have to use the cd.
Shutdown your PC. Unplug the power from the router and the cable modem. Wait 30 sec. then plug in the power to the cable modem, wait 30 sec. then plug the power to the router. Wait till you have "Internet" light then restart your PC. The PC should pick up an IP address and you should be able to get on-line. This is if you have a cable service provider.
If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it. Thanks, Joe
assuming you using ethernet to connect the pc to the modem:
how about checking your ethernetLAN card on the pc if it's integrated with the motherboard you can enable it from the bios settings if it's an expansion card it sounds like you need the most up to date driver which can be downloaded from the card manufacturer's website if you have access to internet on another pc.
assuming your pc is connected to the modem via usb:
reinstall the driver for the modem .
another thing you can do is buy a usb to ethernet adapter which are available for under $5 on the market one end connects to the usb port on your pc and the other end is ethernet
and this should work .
