Re: Help Getting Connected to Internet
What kind of n.i.c. card in the old computer? You could need a new n.i.c.
card in the old computer or the card may need to be reseated. Did that
old computer fall off of anything or get hit really hard between when it
was last working and now? If so, that's a reseat or replacement. To
reseat you need to open the computer and remove the n.i.c. card and check
the connector that goes into the computer along the bottom edge of the
card for corosion. Any corosion needs to be cleaned off before it returns
to the computer. Before you return the card to the computer though, you
need to make sure you got clear sinuses and smell that card all over.
Any odor of smoke, and it's time to replace the card since that puppy has
been fried. Fortunately those don't cost as much as they once did if
that's what's needed. Good luck, networks aren't always the fastest
things to sort out.
