Internet problem

Mahalo · 25-08-2009, 07:18

Recently, my computer crashed or froze...not too sure. So i bought a software called System Mechanic Pro which I'm guessing deleted a whole bunch of stuff, including my local area connection. My problem is that I am now unable to connect to the internet on my computer. Althought I am still able to access the internet from my laptop and another desktop via a router. I have a Gateway computer, would anyone know how to retrieve the local area connection by any chance?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Have you checked in device manager to make sure the network device hardware is still installed? Do you use ethernet, wireless or a usb adaptor to connect?

Yes, the network device hardware is still installed. It say 1394 adapter. But the local area connection has been erased.
I'm pretty sure it's ethernet. There's a box with blinking lights connected to the computer.

Sorry, I'm not that good with computers.

Morning.

Sorry to hear that you're having problems, but you don't need to open more than one thread for a topic.

I'm going to close this one in favour of the one that you posted in the 'Networking' section here:
