572013 2007-07-24 06:39:00 I cant get my old Macrocom computer to network with with a cable to its ethernet port. Pretty sure its something to do with the card because computer connects wirelessy, but I Have moved on from wirelss and want cable.
The computer was bought March 2000, are later ethernet cards faster or should I just try and get my old one working.


Thanks

572015 2007-07-24 06:50:00 If you've connected the cable, like I said in the other post. See if the LED's on the back of the cases are on / doing something.

I would also check device manager see if the drivers are installed for both of them. Or if theyre actually enabled at all.

Question I would like answered is:
Are 2007 ethernet cards quicker than 2000 onees

572017 2007-07-24 07:36:00 No 2007 cards arent faster than 2000 cards whatever that means.

If theyre 10/100, then theyre exactly the same as every other 10/100 card.

Well if theres no LED, it maybe disabled in networked connections or in the BIOS.

Did someone disable the onboard LAN completely on both. When u were using the wireless?

Do the NAMES of the network adapters APPEAR in device manager then??

What does it say under network adapters? In device manager?

572020 2007-07-24 09:20:00 Looks like the right cable .

So if both have XP go to Network connections and MAKE sure both DONT HAVE a X on them .

Or that both actually appear here with the name of the network adapter .

572021 2007-07-24 09:34:00 I presume you are connecting to a switch??

Do you have a manual IP number set or are you using DHCP?

the computer is connected to a dlink dsl-g604t by wireless (works) it just wont connect with cable to ethernet.
Reason is stink range range of router.

thanks
