Why can't my ethernet port be detected?

Question

I am trying to link myself into the internet (and i'm sure my router+modem+internet connection's working properly) on my in my HP Pavillion 8845 but to no avail. I am suspecting it to be my ethernet port problem cuz the led of the port lights up but XP can't seem to detect it. I need help to
1) detect it
2) install the drivers (maybe?)

I opened the unit up and re-inserted the card and it still doesn't work. Here's the model printed on the card itself: CSWS-R452

First of all check whether u r connected to the internet. check out the leds on the modem. Leds speaks lot about the connection more than the computer does. Follows these steps to check the connection.



1.go to command prompt(start>run>cmd) and type the command “ipconfig”



-> if you get 169.254.*.* it means that u r not connected to the internet. May

modem is not connected of the computer is not connected or the line

coming in to your home is having a physical problem.



Check it out by disconnecting all the connection to the modem and to the computer and also the connection to the wall jack. Wait for 40 seconds and reconnection them. Make a small change in them just swap the ends and check them out. And restart the computer. And check out the leds on the modem. One more information what is the modem name and the model number. It will be easy to trouble shoot if the information is know. Each and everything has its own steps.



2.check this command in command problem.

ping 127.0.0.1 = interesting thing about this command that when u get 100% result it means that your Ethernet card if perfect.





3.Type this command in command prompt

ping yahoo.com. – if it comes 100% success it means that your connection but the dns server is not read by your computer. Just call your service provider and ask for the dns setting. And once configuring the dns setting in the lan your computer will communicated properly.

Answer 2

If this card has worked before in this computer, it's most likely stopped working and needs to be replaced.



If the card is new and has never been installed in the computer before, you need to follow the installation instructions that came with the card. If they say install the software first, then install the card, that's what you have to do. It often won't work if you don't follow the directions and do it like they tell you.

No computer hardware ever built runs without a driver. You'll need to install the driver for your NIC. If you don't have the CD, go to the website of the company that made; it will be available for download.
