Ok, as you may know, i formatted my hard drive and i re-installed Windows XP like a week ago. Problem is, i was using an ethernet cable to link up to a wireless sender/reciever. Now my PC doesn't seem to realise i have the ethernet cable in and runs off a wireless usb adaptor now... Can i fix this by making my PC recognise my ethernet cable? PLUS, if you read the following, i want my internet to stay on when i upload, here is a full explanation:


I'll try draw a digram so you can see whats happening:

Ok, that's not the exact model of 'Linksys' wireless i have but its very similar. There are 3 laptops running off it wirelessly and then there is my PC running off it. My PC ran off it via an ethernet cable in the back and now i use my internet wirelessly because since the format and re-installation of windows, my PC doesn't see my ethernet cable.

Problem is that when i upload a song to a file hosting site, my internet cuts off and i have to turn the electric off then on. It's so annoying! I just want my internet to be permenently on and stay on even if i upload stuff.

Cheers

Have you checked that you have the drivers instaled for the NIC (Network Card) ? you could also check that it is enabled in the bios if it is onboard.

Yeah i had to install the network card drivers to be able to use this, it doesn't work without the drivers. How do i check it's enabled in the bios? I'll go into the bios and have a snoop around to see if i find anything,

thanks.

Hi bob, different BIOS use different access keys, to find which keys you need to access your bios check here -> http://www.michaelst...anufacturer.htm

Once you have the keys noted down then reboot your computer and press the hotkey immediatly, if you see the windows screen appear then you will have missed the port of call, then reboot and try again.

Again the settings for the NIC varies on the make of bios, for instance - In the AMI BIOS the settings can be found under Features Setup, Onboard LAN > Enabled/Disabled whilst on an Award bios the settings can be found - Intergrated Peripherals - Onboard IDE devices - Onboard LAN controller [Enable Disable]

Once you have changed the settings (if needed) press F10 to save and exit, then press enter to confim and your computer will automatically reboot. Word of warning - theres a lot of fancy settings in the BIOS - dont be tempted to play !! Adjusting settings incorrectly can cause adverse affects on the running of your computer.

That seemed to be enabled anyway. I think the wireless box is tosh. Im thinking of buying a router and plugging the main internet cable into that and putting the wireless cable in the router so i'm thinking ill get full speed from the router, and the rest of my computers in the house will get wireless internet?
