My family has a wireless router with 4 ports on it for extra comps to plugin "hardwired" and run the net off the LAN we have. However my computer won't do it. Also, my comp can't even be the "host" for the wireless router as when the ethernet cable is plugged into the back it won't ever recognize it. It always says when I run the CD to scan setup of router, nothing detected.
I am pretty sure now that my ethernet port is dead perhaps on my Mobo...but my board is 4 months old..an MSI board...and it pretty much has everything on there it needs. All drivers and utilities have been installed. I even re-installed them. I've checked the ethernet cords and used 4 different ones, which work on our other comp but not mine.
Any idea of what I could do to my comp to fix it, or did I just get a bad ethernet port perhaps somehow??? Totally sucks...thanks all!
