Alright , that was new it recognized the drivers and said good successful. Only thing is now i can't get my light to turn on , meaning my computer could not connect to the internet.
on network connections is says which driver was installed. which was the ProXP.
I did not yet try to restart my PC mainly because it did not advise me to after installation.
Once again it did install which when i tried using the intel site before attempting to find my ethernet driver i failed misserably but it looks almost like the one i tried anyways thats not important information.
Any thoughts?

I also did not install the SNMP, would this be needed?

That would answer for the error message then. You do have XP on that system right? If not then I may have had you get the wrong diver

I'm not sure how someone could jack your card unless you are saying it is damaged. The card should be soldered to the motherboard.
I would have to say the issue is probably a faulty card at this point. Resolution is a add on network card which depending on the make could be a slow as 10.00 USD from TigerDirect

Well it was suspision i had from the last guy who worked on the computer 2 years ago came back telling me my ethernet was not going to work anymore. It's a D-link , which is attached to the motherboard. I just found it stronge it came back not working? thats why i had thought it could be possible with now having certain issues and first time wanting to use ethernet, usually i use a wireless for this desktop, but it doesn't want to keep the internet up...strange and lil weird to explain...So none the less i wanted ethernet to make it work. But your oppinion, a new network card?

Yes a new ethernet card is needed and warranted in your case.
Normal error would be no connection detected or no adapter detected.
Your messages:

Says cable is unpluged or firewalled, and no light is on computer or the router

Fits right in to the normal indications of a failed adapter.

Installing the entwork card.. Is there a certain one that would be made for certain PC's? Or does it matter? Other is
I was trying to look online on how to install it, i dont have a static wristband for the componet protection...etc hope i'm not bothering you too much ^^
I should post something singlular on the forum but since you have been helping me i figured to ask you. Hope thats okay


Really it is a personal preference and what you can afford. I myself prefer gigabyte or 3com. Static band is not needed as long as you ground yourself before touching anything inside of the case.
Assistance is not allowed in pm's so I copied your message here to answer you.
