reinstall of Windows 7 - Can't connect to internet wired thru router

Hi! I'm Chrissy. I recently reinstalled windows 7. That all went well and I had the desired outcome. One little problem though - no internet. I'm directly connected to my Linksys E2000 router. When I connect the ethernet cable into its Jack, the light comes on. The wireless is working fine (I'm connected to it right now, using my phone to type this very post.) The ethernet controller in my device manager has a on the icon. I have no ida what to do, what drivers to install ... anything. I'm at a complete standstill. Any help? Thanks so very much

Have you tried rebooting your modem and router, then trying to connect?

Hi chrissy welcome to Sevenforums

What is your exact Laptop model or Motherboard model ?

How would I go about finding that?

@crankypenguin yes. Still won't work :'0

Welcome Chrissy, :)

Is this a laptop or desktop computer ?

There is usually a sticker on the computer somewhere that has the manufacturers name & model number. Unless it is a custom (home) built computer.

It's a desktop.

I see a sticker that has the windows product key and some more numbers. Thats all ...

The command can't be done on a phone has to be done on the computer .

Haha. I did it on my computer. I meant. What needs to be typed here. Saying I'm on a phone because it might take a long time for some of these fields.
