USB Connector to ethernet Connector.

Did you not get a CD with the machine, that you can insert when prompted when installing the LAN card driver?

I am not installing LAN cards. I thought the card was built in to the motherboard, only needed drivers? Or am I missing something here?

OK but until you get rid of any yellow exclamation marks for it i.e. install a driver, it won't work.

I have installed 4 or 5 different drivers from the intel/hp site and also intel chipset. Still the same. Now I have rigged up this other pc from which I can confer with you guys, intead of having to keep changing the cables. Now if you guys can talk me through what I need to do to sort out please.

If you do not know what type of network adaptor is built in to the motherboard, the best way forward is to identify the motherboard itself.

Everest is a piece of software that will examine your PC and tell you what you have. Download it from the link below -

Once downloaded, install and run it, and copy and paste any and all information that it gives about your motherboard and your network adaptors.

From that information, we should be able to locate the proper drivers for your motherboard and network adaptor (and probably advise you on how to enable the ethernet adaptor in the BIOS, if necessary).

Once your network adaptor is working properly, connecting to the router should be straightforward

All,

Thanks for all your help. Have finally found the right drivers for the ethernet, through trial and error. Router installed and working.
