make sure that you are not using a cross over cable if you are connecting to a router or a hub/switch and check to make sure that the drivers are installed properly and make sure that the settings are correct

ok .. I'm sure that you've tried to reinstall the connection but protocols are ok ? ( 192.168.xx.xx ) 192.168.6.x for example must be the same

the same happesn with me!

the same happens with my dads laptop its a compaq evo n600 well its the network card i think its bad u have to wiggle the cable around well like and hold it to the right or left side and then it might start working, its messed up look if the leds are on. if they arent and it says cable is unplugged then thats what is going wrong but if the leds are on then thats a different story.

So is there any way it can be fixed?
