LAN problems
If the built-in network adapter doesn’t connect to the LAN

computer to the cable.

?? Use the networking problems troubleshooter in Windows Help and Support.
?? Click Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System. On the Hardware
tab, open the Device Manager. If the network interface is disabled, try to enable it. If
it has a conflict, try disabling another device.
