tell a lie, turns out the the connection isn't even working or showing on the list, the 1394 is something else

Re: LAN internet help
 

It shouldnt be trying to repair that mate, the right hand icon needs enabling. You might need to re install the drivers to get it to work correctly.

The 1394 is the firewire port iirc.

Re: LAN internet help
 

the right is the wireless, i want to use lan

Re: LAN internet help
 

Looks to me like you have no lan adaptor setup on your computer.

Go into

Control Panel
Then click on the "system" icon
Then choose device manager
Then expand the "network adaptors" section and grab a screen shot of whats in there.

I would reinstall the utilities on the machine as you're missing a port.

if its not there can it not be disabled through the bios menu on start up? i've had a look but it doesn't make sense to me, im sure it used to have lan adaptor

Re: LAN internet help
 

OK its there, its the "ethernet controller" with the yellow question mark next to it in the "other devices section"

You just need to

1. find out what model LAN adaptor is in that machine
2. Download and install the driver for it.

What model PC / Laptop is it ?

Re: LAN internet help
 

Could try the quick check, right click on the ethernet adapter and select reinstall drivers, it might find them for you.

its a self build bought of my dads mate years ago, got a asus p4p800 AI board in it

Re: LAN internet help
 

Is the LAN Adaptor built onto the main board or is it a seperate card ?

If its built on the main board should be easy to find the adaptor, if its a seperate card, then pop the lid off and somewhere on the lan card it'll have the make and model on it.

Re: LAN internet help
 

Its built onto the mainboard go here

pick the OS you want and you should be able to download the driver for the ethernet adaptor built onto the main board.

Re: LAN internet help

to do a quick check of what your hardware is get an ubuntu CD boot up off the cd, and you should be able to display all your hardware by typing lshw in a terminal.
