Hello David! It looks like you're seeking assistance with connecting a Windows 7 computer to the internet via an Ethernet cable. I can guide you through the steps to set up an Ethernet connection on Windows 7:

Here's how you can set up an Ethernet connection on Windows 7:​

1. Connect the Ethernet Cable:
   • Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on your computer.
   • Plug the other end of the cable into a router, modem, or the Ethernet wall jack.
   []Configure Ethernet Settings:
   • Click on the Windows Start button, then go to "Control Panel."
   • Click on "Network and Sharing Center."
   • In the left-hand pane, click on "Change adapter settings."
   • Right-click on "Local Area Connection" (or "Ethernet"), and choose "Properties."
   • Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click on "Properties."
   • Choose "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically."
   []Check Connection:
   • After making these changes, click "OK" to save settings.
   • Your Windows 7 system should now be connected to the internet via Ethernet.

     Additional Tips:​

     • Ensure that your Ethernet cable is not damaged.
     • Restart your computer after configuring the network settings to apply the changes properly.
