Hello! Ive recently installed a new harddrive in my gateway laptop. I just hooked up a wireless router and was going to connect with it but the wireless router requires a setup disk to be ran first before it will even find the connection. It also requires to be hooked up to the net via ethernet cable so it can be registered so on so forth. I noticed that when I plugged the cord into the port there were no flikering lights. and I was unable to recieve the internet. I plugged the cord into my dell laptop and it works, so thats not the issue there are no yellow question marks on my device manager......these are the two things listed under network adapters...1) 1394 Net Adapter. 2) intel r Pro/Wireless 3945ABG network connection. Now my dell has those two things listed plus...Broadcom 440X 10/100 Intergated Controller.??? AM I missing this on my gateway is that why my ethernet port isnt working?...or is that something additional that shouldnt cause my port to not work. I hope this is enough info for someone to maybe have an idea why my port doesnt seem to work. Thanks a bunch!!!
