Hey electrochimp,

If there's an exclamation point beside your Network adapter, then it indicates that your drivers aren't installed/working correctly. Please attempt to reinstall your Network adapter.

Step 1 - Re-install your network adapter:
Please do the following -- *Note: You may need your Network adapter drivers CD in order to complete these steps.

• Press Start
• In the Start Search field type devmgmt.msc and then press the ENTER key.
• In the Device Manager, expand Network adapters
• Under Network adapters, right-click your network adapter and select Uninstall.
• Restart your computer; upon reboot, Windows will detect New Hardware and ask you to install your network adapter; please proceed to do so.

Once you have re-installed your adapter, is the exclamation point still there?

It took the point off but still didn't connect. A friend came over and put a Netgear Gigabit Ethernet PCI adapter in it , replacing the NVIDIA adapter.and it works now.

Thanks
