My internet still doesnt work on my desktop...?

If getting an IP address through the other suggestions, go into IE. Select Tools/Internet Options/Communication. Run a set up using the box on the upper right. Do it as a stand alone computer manually and skip the step to create a disk or file. When finished reopen the Communications and on the bottom is a Lan Settings. Open this and make sure no boxes are selected, even the automatic, and OK out. Close and reopen IE. One thing that is easy to do is not seat the cable fully in the card. It catches on the card seperator edge and does not fully lock.
