Title: Can't connect
Post by: smib on April 04, 2010, 10:32:52 AM

I bought a new laptop. It won't connect to the internet using the ethernet cable. My old laptop and desktop connects with no problems. I keep getting a "limited or no connectivity error." If I unplug the ethernet cable, it says "no connection," so I know it the port works.

Any suggestions?

Follow the instructions here on:
limited or no connectivity (http://www.pchell.com/support/limitedconnectivity.shtml)

Also, provide more information about your OS version, Service Pack, etc..
