HogDog Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Well I can't connect to the internet after I reinstalled my OS. I lost my CD with m Ethernet drivers on it so I downloaded them to an external hard drive and moved it to my comp. Still no connection. Have any ideas? -thanks, HogDog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If still nothing tell me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HogDog Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 the 'repair' option is greyed out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Encrypted_God Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Here's an Idea...check to see if you have these services Started. 1.) DHCP Client. 2.) Network Connections. If you don't know the path, let me know and I'll show you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
