Spider,

I did install the drivers first. Then shut down and installed the new network card into a different pci slot. But it still does not come up in device manager anymore. And the green light on it does not come on.

So i decided to put the old network card back in with new updated driver. It does not freeze up the computer but it does not connect to the internet. It says network cable unplugged. ...now the green light is not on this one now...

I also tried to restore a couple of times but it says it cannot restore to that date. I tried to restore a to a couple of days ago and then back to 8/1 and it says it cannot restore back to that date.

The other thing it is taking 5-10 to boot up now. Now sure what I did to cause that.

Thanks
Terry

hi If the card does not have any lights or has orange or red lights, it is possible that either the card is bad, the card is not connected properly, or that the card is not receiving a signal from the network.

are you using a hub or switch,  or router? verify that the cables are properly connected and that the hub or switch has power.

if you have a router... you may have to reset them!

as for getting your ip address.

click start,Run,cmd, ipconfig / all
check your ip address if you see 0.0.0.0
type ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew

are you sure you have the right up dated driver?
Verify that the network card is capable of pinging .....To ping the card or the localhost, type either

ping 127.0.0.1

This should show a listing of replies from the network card. If you receive an error or if the transmission failed, it is likely that either the network card is not physically installed into the computer correctly, or that the card is bad.

Let me know and good Luck!  :)

I am getting a green light. I reset the D-Link Router. I believe i have the right driver.

When i do the ipconfig/release then ipconfig/renew I get.. "an error occured while renewing interface Local Area Connection 16: The RPC server is unavailable.


When I ping 127.0.0.1 I get.."Unable to initialize Windows Sockets interface, error code 0."

Thanks

Repair The WinsocK:
Another Potential cause of your inability to connect to the internet is a winsock file that has been altered or damaged by spyware or other digital threats.
Fortunately, repairing the winsock is easy to do. The appropriate method of repair depends on whether you have installed a special collection of windows security patches ...Known as Service pack 2.

which service pack do you have on your computer?
then I can help you better! spider 8)

not a problem, glad I can help ;).. make sure your anti spyware and virus programs is up to date.
scan for a virus ....also go to microsoft update windows too.

once you scan for a virus.... go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

 scan for a virus there too because some antivirus program can detect better than others.

take care !   ;D spider
