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! :o| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ SirTroth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ICQ: 1717439 ~ YAHOO: SirTroth ~ SKYPE: SirTroth ~ XFIRE: SirTroth ~ AIM/AOL: SirTrothX ~ http://ut2004.sirtroth.com ~ MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (For MSN Chat) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gman Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 11:45 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: XPS 400 Troth, Is this anything I could find out for you by looking at it online?
