internet network connections

Hi Greg,

1) Check the "Network Connections" Folder by opening the start menu
2) Go to "Run"
3) Type "ncpa.cpl" and hit enter

On the left hand side, you should see an icon named "Network Troubleshooter"
Click on it.
Click on "Drives and Network Adapters Troubleshooter"
Click on "My network adapter does not work".
Click next.

Follow the wizard.

If you're still having troubles see below for additional instructions..

Open up ncpa.cpl again, following the instructions at the top of this post.
Do you have a "Local Area Connection" icon in this folder? If so, does it
appear to be connected? disconnected? disabled?

If it's disabled, right click on it, and select "enable"
If it's connected, double click the icon. Go to the "Support" tab. When
here, look for "Address Type" it should say "Assigned by DHCP". If it does
not, click "Repair" if this doesnt work, then look at your cable, or look at
your config of your linksys router.

After doing this, if you're still having trouble, please reply to this post
with additional information about what the results of these steps were.


Thanks,

US-Network Experience team
