Not sure if this is the right place - please refer me to another group if not.
I have an issue getting my Asus laptop (Windows 7) LAN card to work. My setup is: dsl modem --> asus wireless router --> various devices.
The wireless works fine on this machine. When I plug a cable into it, the network is not recognized. When I plug the same cable into my wife's mac, it works fine.
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling the NIC. In the network connections, when I right click and run repair, it tells me to plug an ethernet cable into the network adapter "Local Area Connection"
.
EDIT: The connection will work when plugged directly into the modem.
Thanks for your help.
