PC on talktalk , BB internet working well on a USB lead from modem to pc.
Now, new router to go wireless has no USB connection. The Lan connection on the rear of pc does not seem to be working.
Gone into device manager no yellow bubbles.
Says 'Network adapter device working properly'.
Is this connection enabled all the time or does it have to be enabled.
Some suggestion would be appreciated please! Thankyou.

Check the properties of your LAN card in Network Connections. Does the relevant port LED on the router light up, when the Ethernet cable is connected?:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

Network Connections, Highlight the Local Area Network (Ethernet adaptor) Right Click, Properties then Click the Configure button, Is the device Enabled?:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Done it. The lan port was off to the side so not connecting properly.
All up and running now.
Thanks Espresso.Be ALERT - The world needs more LERTS0
