Hi Rayucan,

- When you say "connected" do you mean the wire is in place, or that there is communication between the router and the PC? (how do you know communication is taking place?)
- Are you sure that the Ethernet cable is good? can you swap it for a different one?
- Simple step, and I dont want to insult you, but ... Is the router switched on?
- Try opening a Command Prompt (Start >Run - enter "cmd" in the box (no quotes) and press Enter). When the black window type "ping 127.0.0.1" (again no quotes) You should get 4 replies. If you dont then your network card is not working.

Lets get that far and see how you get on with that first - its so easy to continue with this and give a lot of instructions until I confuse you, so lets get this far first.

Let me know how you get on.

(no - if you are using commas then it wont find the host - forget the comma reference)

I have never experienced this issue - perhaps a bad card, but If ping isnt recognized, then I'm afraid I must hand this over to the rest of the guys out there. Sorry.

Perhaps in Command Prompt try "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) dont forget the space between "sfc" and "/scannow". This will take some time to complete.

ah - back on track with the ping :)

Now try pinging your router. Type "ipconfig /all" (no quotes) and get the default address of your router - it is normally something like 192.168.0.1. When you have this then ping the 192.168.x.x address and see what response you get. - Im off line for a wee bit now but i will be back later.

Hi Rayucan,

I have been on a few times since I last left a message for you. I expected a message saying how you got on.

But re-reading my last post, I asked for a default address of your router. I really meant Default Gateway address. Also, I forgot to mention that this should be for the Ethernet adapter only - not for any other cards you might have in your machine.

Sorry for any mix up.
