Need help connecting my internet to my laptop via ethernet cord.?

Question

When i try to connect my laptop to my modem with the ethernet cord it cannot establish a connection but when i connect the ethernet to my pc it works just fine any help?

Answer 1

i think you might need to update the driver for your ethernet controller



go to system in your control panel, choose the hardware tab and then device manager and update your ethernet driver from there.

Answer 2

You need to run the connection wizard on the laptop, make sure you've got all the needed information from your ISP (just take it off of the pc).



You can likely also establish a wireless connection, most newer systems have a wireless network adapter built in, and most ISP's auto-provide a wireless connection service.



To establish a wireless connection, just run the Windows Wireless Setup Wizard on your hard-wired system (the one connected directly to the router), then run the same wizard on your laptop, only select it as the secondary connection.



Hope this helps.
