Can connect wirelessly, but not through ethernet cable
Hi everyone,
Well, as briefly as I can:
We already had tv, phone and broadband with Virgin (at our old house), and moved house on Wednesday this week. Virgin came out and got us up and running the next day, which was great. Tv and phone work fine but I have a problem with the broadband. The modem links to the tower of my PC and I have a laptop that I use to connect to the internet wirelessly. Quite strangely, I am able to use the laptop and connet wirelessly, but I cannot connect the PC / tower (i.e. with the cable connection from the modem to the tower). Can't understand it at all, and the Virgin helpline didn't offer much assistance I must say! .
Problem is: my wife works from home and needs to have the internet available on the PC pronto, every hour is money down the drain .
Hope this all makes sense, and a massive thanks to anyone that tries to help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Duncan
