how to set up a internet connection ?
ok, I just reformatted my computer and have my internet on that computer. my other computer is hooked into the ethernet card of my main computer. I am trying to get the internet up on my second computer. I have done the network setup wizard on both the host and the client. the host computer where the modem is hooked up ( cable) works fine but my second computer (client ) is not sensing a internet connection.
I had this setup before. and all I did was run the network setup wizard on both computers. for some reason I am having difficulties this time. Ads |
