I just built my new computer and when i plugged my ethernet cable into it (my ethernet cable is plugged into a modem for broadband,roadrunner)i expected a signal that it reconized the cable being plugged in but it didnt.I checked my network connections and it says im not recieving or sending packets.I tried running a network setup wizard(didnt work.I tried repairing connection(didnt work).I tried anything that said create a new connection but i still don have internet on my new pc.I would appreciate suggestions so that i may continy work on my pc.

yes i removed the other ones.I dont think its a network card.I plugged the ethernet cable into the back of my motherboard in the ethernet cable slot and thats how i got internet for my old setup.Then when i put the new motherboard in and plugged in the ethernte cable it did not recognize it.I'm pretty sure i dont have a network card

[peterm]

ok it is an onboard network card.

well my modem is hooked up to a different computer in a different room so i have an ethernet cable plugged into my motherboard running down the hall into that modem

Ok so is computer 2 ethernet cable running into the modem or into the router
or is it a combined modem router.
Could I have the make and model. If it is not a combined then make and model of both.
Do you have tcpip installed on computer2

[defender13]

ok so today i went out and boght a network card,installed it and i had no internet connection.Then i took the modem(made by RCA) and the router(linksys) and put them on my newly built pc and the dell they were hooked up to now connects to the internet via an ethernet cable.To sum that up the custom computer now is hooked up to the modem and router(modem:RCA router:linksys) and the old dell is connected via an ethernet cable.Basically they switched places in the way that they are connected.


Still im not connected to the internet on my custom pc.

also i dont know if i have a tcpip on my custom pc.What is a tcpip and how can i check for it?
