I just moved into a college apartment and the internet is turned on and everything. I go to plug my CAT5 cable in to the wall and the back of my comp and it does not regonize it and wont connect to the LAN. What do i need to do to get the hard line running again?

If you double click on the icon with the 2 computers it opens a small window. There is a repair option on one of the tabs there. Click that repair. You probably have that icon in your tray?

Have you tried changing the cable to make sure it is good?

Was the ethernet port working before you moved?

Go to Start > Run > type devmgmt.msc

When Device Manager loads expand the entry Network Adapters (what is listed?) .

Assuming that the driver for the NIC is installed follow the next steps.

Right click the adapter > choose properties > click the advanced tab > look for link speed (what is listed)

If set to Auto try changing to "100 Mbps Full Duplex" or "10 Mbps Full Duplex"

What kind of cable or you using (cross-over, straight -wired) ?

Have you tried testing another system on the LAN (maybe have a friend or someone test with laptop) ?

Maybe problem with NIC port on computer or problem with the router or switch that is being used.
