For some odd reason, it won't go online through its LAN ethernet card directly plugged into the cable modem now. This one, my older PC running XP does w/o a problem. My old laptop could be connected direct and go online as this PC does.
So....................I called Toshiba's tech support #, the tech support person tells me to try removing a network device (card) not being used anyway, then has me remove the card used. Windows detects it and installs the software BUT it's now giving me errors at bootup
so I'm told to recover the unit with the recovery disc Well, no big deal really as I had nothing great stored there anyway BUT do you think it's fixed? NO!!!
It STILL won't go online. Trys to "detect proxy settings" and fails everytime just as it did before the recovery, cured nothing (except MSN is gone, a good thing for sure
).Now----yes, I've added NetBeui, file and printer sharing, User ID (same as before), client for MS (I like that better)....rebooted.... a couple times too but it STILL doesn't do it hooked directly.
Sure, I can call these guys again tomorrow night and Roadrunners tech support too but might anyone here have any other ideas why it's not detecting proxy settings?
If I hook it up directly to this PC, neither sees each other that way either. I've checked everything I know about Networking options but I'm not seeing any reason why this shouldn't work.
