I have been using my wireless connection without any problems for weeks but I tried to connect a network cable from my pc to the modem but it won't let me conect to the internet. I just get that box which says 'work offline' or 'try again'.
I thought it was due to the cable having a bit snapped off at one end which 'clicks' when you put the wire into a port. But the modem lights fires up as well as the little orange light on the back of my pc which looks like it is securely connected.
I've tried setting up a network and adding a new connection but no joy. In the 'network connections' window, all I have is a 1394 connection. Shouldn't the wired connection be showing up here.
Anyway I'm sure it's something very simple which somebody can point out for me. Thanks
