Local Area Connection Network Cable is Unplugged

[Samra]

Hello,

On my laptop running windows xp no "local area connection" is specified in section connection. Yet I have an ethernet output.

Is it possible to establish such a connection?

How?

thank you for your help

1-Check your TCP/IP property sheet and make sure your computer is setup to
'obtain IP automatically.

2-Check to make sure you are pulling an IP from the router.(Start, Run, type
in IPCONFIG)

3-Make sure the DFG is the IP address of the router.

4-Make sure you don't have a router/modem sitting in front of your router.

Try this and post back the results.
