hat it says but my ethernet cable is connected properly

 

Make sure you have a Cat.5 cable, if you have used the same cable in the past and it worked, there is no need to worry about the cable. Go online (on a different PC) and download drivers for your network card.

DDP Beat me to it, If it shows it in the device manager, type the brand and model number into google along with the keyword 'drivers' and download new drivers for your card.

@DDP, we posted at the exact same time... interesting...

 

if I download drivers on another computer ,what is the best way to get them to the correct computer? thanks in advance guys

Just wanted to say thanks again, im now connected, i didnt know that i was missing audio drivers also, but everythings is working fine ,,,thanks

 

No problem as DDP so wisely stated, teach and learn.
