Computer HELP !

[TheMonkey]

on a home network, my kids CPU took a nose dive, so i bought a used box to replace it (no support). it's the same box that we have 2 others on the network. Compaq EVO D510.

computer fires up fine, has a clean restore & Win XP Pro.

problem is that it won't hook up to the internet. i tested the ethernet cable from that station into this computer (working and configured fine), and the cable is fine with data. so i know it's not a network problem.



the new CPU that won't get internet has an ethernet hole off the motherboard, and another ethernet hole that is off of a PCI card that also has one of those 9 pin male IOIOI things.

i thought i would just plug the ethernet cable into one of those and shazam, i can google. but it didn't get any internet.

so i go to network settings, and there are 2 avail. LA conn 2 (off the motherboard is disabled), and LA conn 3 (off the PCI card) is enabled but will not recognize a connection when the cable gets plugged in.

so, i enabled LA conn 2, and plugged in the ethernet cable. great, it lights up and it sees the connection, but no google. i open IE and it can't get internet connection.

any suggestions?

thanks,
Scott.
