Another client... can't get the computer to connect online. Internet comes
in from the wall to the modem, and from the modem to a router and switch.
Router and switch connects all hundred or so computers online. This one
computer, however, refuses to go online. I've pretty much tried everything I
can think of, short of formatting, which I dread doing on a company
computer, cause we have to make sure the client has EVERYTHING backed up.
The Ethernet going from the router to the computer... it connects to the
back of the computer (onboard LAN). You know the little "networking" light
you see on the network cards that show there's a connection to the PC? Well,
on this computer, the light looks orange, as opposed to what I'm used to
seeing... yellow. So, was wondering if the XPS specifically shows "orange"
instead of "yellow". I'm being cautious with disconnecting the router and
modem (say, for example, to try a direct connection to the computer) because
this is a large financial company, and doing so would take the entire office
offline. God help us if I suddenly can't get the whole network back up. I'm
not insured/bonded for such disasters!

Troth,
Is this anything I could find out for you by looking at it online?
Peace,
