    Windows Vista Can;t connect to the internet with a cable

    The PC now having the ability to "see" the other machines on your network, pretty much rules out the Windows as the source of your problem of no browser connection. The lack of internet could now be either router's hardware or some security setting for the lan port the PC is hooked to. I would...

    Windows Vista Can;t connect to the internet with a cable

    All my 7 Release Client installs have "found" my network without any prompts from me on installation, (other than typing in the workgroup name). The connection was made automatically with my home network PCs (all 3 hard wired) with Wi-Fi connections for laptops and the Wii console being handled...

    Windows Vista Can;t connect to the internet with a cable

    Have you tried clicking your network icon down on the task bar and tried a "wizard"? If your ethernet cable is plugged in to the port on your tower, is the LAN controller enabled in the BIOS and is the driver installed?

    I beg to differ, when I purchased the two XP OS's, one was a full version which I paid full price for, the upgrade was less money :) When installing that upgrade, windows asked for the 2000pro disk to be placed in the drive just to confirm the former OS for the legitimacy of that upgrade. I...

    Windows 7 Will 8GB of RAM speed up your system?

    Tepid is spot on with his reply. The great % of folks never even come close to using 4gigs of ram during normal program usage (you can monitor this with Task Manager). Power Users who muti-task with lots of software running simultaneously, could benefit from having more than four GB's of RAM...

    Windows 7 No Upgrade from XP to Windows 7

    I never touched Vista for obvious reasons. Went from 2000 pro to XP pro (purchased an upgrade & full version for two scratch built machines) and now have 7RC loaded on a dual boot. This new OS is very good so far & I intend to switch over after service pack #1 has been released (don't like being...
