I have a Windows XP SP2 desktop PC. It connects to the internet with a LAN cable (there's a wireless router for my laptop in between). The problem should be software because:
- when i tried connecting the same LAN cable to my laptop it works
- when i plugin the LAN cable (onboard) the green light is on and the orange light flickers
- when i tried the other cable (that feeds the wireless router) i have the same problem
- it worked a few days ago, nothing specific changed
I tried removing the ethernet card from the device manager, and windows automatically reinstalled it.
What could cause this? What can I try?
