[Mikelfc]

There are 4 ports and a number is meant to light up which 1 its connected to but it aint grrrrr

[dsenette]

do you have access to another ethernet cable ( i know this is getting frustrating..sorry)

[Mikelfc]

nope, duno wa 2 do now, it just wont work believe me aint gotta clue what am duin

[dsenette]

quick question

the adsl modem has an ethernet port right?

what happens when you plug the ethernet cable from the modem to the computer? does it show as connected?

[Mikelfc]

The ADSL Link Light comes on yer when the DSL cable is connected to the Router

[dsenette]

well...what i want to know is if you can connect the computer directly to the modem via the ethernet cable (let's leave this pesky router out of the mix for a second)

i want to know...if you can connect this way...and if you can....does the ethernet adapter show as "media disconnected" or if it comes up as connected
