    Hi

    have just restarted my media centre after a big ext to the house.

    it was wireless before but now a working cat5 connection is there.

    but I cannot get connected to the net ??

    what settings etc should I be checking??
    I have uninstalled the wireless software.

    When I go to contol panel - net conections - theres nothing there ??
    How do I add something in here - Lan connection.
    under "add connection" -what options do I go with

    thx

    There will be nothing in that box unless you are using dial up internet. I assume you have broadband?

    is your ethernet card installed properly? control panel>system>hardware>device manager>network adapters. if it is not installed correctly you might need to install drivers for it.

    have you ever used a wired LAN connection before on this PC?
