Hello, we recently got broadband and we have to use the usb connection for it to work. There's no connection when used through the ethernet port, which i want, but for some reason the usb works only.

My computer is below. I know some computers require you to install drivers to get it to work, but mine didnt come with any...I really dont want to spend money on a PCI ethernet card.

Any help is appreciated.

Take a look at the BIOS, might be that the onboard LAN is disabled.

:sun:

theres really nothing i can do in my bios...

hold on i might have fixed it...ill come back if i didnt.

problem solved: i accidentally disabled that port a while back when i thought we wouldnt get broadband/trying to save any power possible for a our video card (which im sure is stupid considering it probably doesnt save any)
