Greetings

I'm fixing a friend's computer at home and was wondering if it is possible to use my ethernet cable to connect to the internet on their computer? Previously when I has a USB connection I simply plugged it in and was connected straight away. However, when I plug the ethernet cable into the new computer I get the icon saying 'no connectivity'. I've unplugged my set top box and re-started but still no luck.

Are there some settings I need to change? I'm also buying a new computer for the folks and was wondering if I'd have the same problem there?

Thanks for your time
