What are they?
Do they have green icon beside them or an ! or ?

[Sarum222]

They have a Green Icon Next To Them
and are 1394 net adapter, USB Cable Modem and Intel VE Network Connection

[moaningmags]

That means they're all enabled and working.
Start > Control Panel > Network Connections do any of them show as disabled? Or do they say enabled or connected or network cable unplugged.

Right click each connection select Status then Support, what IP address do they have?
Just post the first 6 digits.

[Sarum222]

Local Connection is Disabled and says network cable unplugged

Rest are enabled
1394 doesnt have any information
Local area Connection 2 has 81.107.1

Can you delete some of your ip address. Not a good idea to post it in full.

Local Area Connection 2 is the connection you're using now, connected directly to the modem.

If you connect to the router the 81 ip addy should change to become 192.

[Sarum222]

Should i Check it??

[moaningmags]

Yes, turn off modem and router. Connect modem to router's wan port and connect router to computer. Turn modem on wait for lights to settle then turn router on.

[Sarum222]

But the Problem is the Number 1 on the router doesnt light up.

[moaningmags]

Use number 2.

Try a different ethernet cable?

[Sarum222]

Ive only got 1 port where it fits into on the back of the computer the port is labelled 'LAN'

Do i stick it in that one

[moaningmags]

Yes but on the router you have 4 ports numbered 1 2 3 4, number 1 won't light up so use number 2 3 or 4.

Yes. And if you're using USB disconnect that completely. You can't use usb and ethernet at the same time.


And also enable the one that's disabled.

[Sarum222]

Ok let me try it, do i do it with everything switched off first?

[moaningmags]

The local area connection that's disabled, you need to right click on it and select enable.

[Sarum222]

so take out the usb?
