I have been recently banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why I can not get connected online with my Wired Connection. After reading the following links, I found my solution and I would like to share them with everyone who are having the same type of issues I had. They may or may not help you, but at least Please read all of the links and just (maybe) find a solution for yourself. If these links have been posted by some one else on this forum, then I am sorry I have reposted these links, as my time on my computer is very limited. Perhaps some of the Awesome computer experts who spend their daily life on this forum may have other suggestions, besides the links I have posted.
