Windows 7 will see wired network but won't connect
Hi,
I'm trying to connect a PC running Windows 7 HP 64bit (Intel i3 3.3Ghz Quad core, 3GB RAM) to a wired network at work. All the computers here are wirelessly connected to the internet but hardwired into a central network/server that has all the files etc on it.
The server is running Windows Server 2000 I think, the old computer I am replacing is running XP and that connects to both networks without a problem. The new Windows 7 one will connect to the wireless network fine, the wired network shows up but in properties it says "No internet access" and "No network access" and I can't access anything on it.
I've tried several solutions from looking around the net but nothing has worked.
Any ideas as to why it won't work? By all accounts networking is supposed to be easy on Windows 7, I'm certainly not finding that!
If you need more details I'll try to provide them but at the moment the new PC isn't set up because we needed the old put back to do work.
