Guest Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 go into Control panel, system, system properties, hardware, device manager - then look for network adaptors and reinstall the driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Double click on the card (it may be built in the pc but it will still show up) then a box opens click on driver and it gives you various options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Security Technician Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 tried that already, no joy thought it could be cable but it registers if it is unplugged etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 When you say the network connection doesn't work, what doesn't work about it? Does it connect and recognise a physical connection but doesn't do anything, or does it work on the internet but not for file sharing or some other combination?

Guest Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Have you changed anything on your network -introduced a switch hub or change a cable or anything like that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 DHCP probably. plug the cable in then click start -> run and type cmd then press enter. Type ipconfig /release then enter Type ipconfig /renew then enter You should get a valid IP address assigned, probably 192.168.something. If there is a problem, Windows will assign a default of 169.something. If you get the default Windows address try setting a fixed IP address on the machine.
