Internet connection lost, but LAN still OK
My home computers are connected with a Netgear Router on a high speed cable
connection. Recently my stepson was messing around with the innards of one of my computers. He was scavenging a modem from it. He mistakenly removed the NIC card, then replaced it, and removed the phone modem he was looking for. However, now this computer cannot connect to the Internet; but can still connect to the other computers on the Home network. Is it possible that the Network Card is damaged so that it cannot connect to the Internet, but can still connect to the other computers on the Home Network? Is there something I can try to get it connected? |
