arayfo1: How does the Win8 machine connect to the Internet?

Wired or wireless?

No, I'm not much of a football fan.

I think I chose 'Home'.

I think so, but I'll try restarting again.

I'm not watching the game if that's what you mean. I just thought I would mess their game up if I disconnected the modem, but as it turns out it didn't because they only need internet if they are watching netflix.

Watching the game aren't you?

Last questions from me for today:

Were you prompted for Home, Work, Public when you first tried to connect?
Have you restarted the machine since installing the network drivers? This shouldn't matter. When you get done here, why not shut down the box until tomorrow?

I'm not sure that it's a card. My receiver screws in at the back of the tower.

There is no wireless button on an Aspire Desktop PC. Do you have a wireless card or are you using a USB adapter?

Elementary dear Watson.
