| 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 tedheath |

| 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. |

| 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 . |
