Hi all
I've just bought a new acer 5021wlmi laptop, and im pleased with it so far.
I have been trying to get my NTL cable connection to work on the laptop, and assumed that I could just unplug the RJ45 from the ethernet card on the main pc and then plug it into the laptop LAN connector.
However it persistanly saying "low signal strength/connection unavaliable" etc. Clicking "repair" does nothing and cannot renew the IP address.
But it works fine when plugged into my main pc.
The light comes up on the LAN connection on the lappy and flashes as if its working ok.
Ive double checked the drivers on the lappy (xp home) and done the usual internet connection settings but it wont have any of it lol
Any thoughts???
Hopefully Im just being thick.
