I moved into a new house with some new roomies. I'm used to having a direct line to my computer for internet, but had to settle on wireless until I could get my hands on a 100ft cat5e cable. This is my first time using wireless (Belkin USB receiver), and my roomies seem to be getting a WAY better internet connection / speed than I am.
So I finally got the cable from Amazon (seen here), carefully set it up, plugged it into the router and the computer and....well, nothing. The port light on the ethernet plug-in on my computer lights up, as does my router no matter which port I use.
I have little knowledge in getting into advanced networking/cable stuff, so I apologize ahead of time. Really having a frustrating time figuring this one out. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
