Need Help!!!! Router or OS Config?
I just recently upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 and ran into an issue with internet connectivity. Here is a rundown of everything that I have and that has occured so far, just so you can see where I am at with the issue. Any help/input will be appreciated. I have a Linksys Wireless N Router hooked up now. I have the following hooked up to it:
My upgrade of my desktop to Windows 7 was flawless. Works great! Except it could not detect an internet connection. It was still wired with the ethernet cord from the router, just as it was setup when it was ruinning Windows XP. So i loaded to Router CD hoping that would fix the problem. It didn't. So I pressed the reset button on the router. All that did was wipe my wireless network. The error I kept getting when trying to run the router software was that "No ethernet cable detected". Everything was hooked up correctly. So to ensure I had internet into my house, I ran the cable straight from my modem to all 4 devices listed above. Only the XBOX 360 and the HP Netbook recognized the cable and had internet. The other 2 had nothing. So the next step was running a wired connection from one port on the router to all 4 devices. Again only the HP Netbook and XBOX 360 recognized the cable. So I was able to set back up my network through the router with the Netbook. I also luckily had a wireless Linksys USB adapter so I could get internet on my desktop (which used to be a wired connection, but it wont recognize it now). So through all of this I am guessing this is an issue with settings on the Desktop and Laptop (Windows 7). Im lost on what to do to get back to my original setup (wired connection on my desktop.) I tried 2 different routers with the same outcome. Please help
