OK, running into a problem here.
The interwebs decided to stop working on my mother's computer the other day. So of course I have to look into it, being the family's resident expert on such things.
But this has got me kinda stumped.
According to her, one of her dogs was screwing around underneath the desk when a "noise" happened, and the internet went out. But only on hers. All other PC's around the house are fine.
So I replaced the cable. Same problem though. I can use ping, but not ftp, http, or anything else to connect. I can't even get through to the router. I don't see anything in Windows that would be preventing access, so I'm thinking maybe it's the on-board NIC.
It's a kind of cheap, generic pc, so I don't know what kind of board it's running. I don't want to go out and spend more money than I (she) have to. Could it be that that the MOBO's interhighway jack is bad?
