Laptop Lan Connection Problem?
Hey,
well, I moved somewhere and I got on the PC standing here,
its hooked up to a router and has internet, but now, when I
plug that same LAN cable in my Laptop, the lights doesnt show
up nor says it that I have connection.
Is it because of the Lan cable or because of my laptop? I dont think the input
of my laptop is damaged, because bevor I moved I connected it to my
Computer and it worked fine, well can anybody help me pls? Another
LAN cable maybe or any computersetting change?
Update:I just checked everything, and by Local Area Connection it says that everything
will connect automaticly, also it shows me that theres a LAN cable attached,
BTW: I got Win7, but it helped me with the XP thing to look, just saying, incase
it matters
