Alright. Just got a Used computer from a friend who reformatted it to brand new settings and I am trying to connect it to my Modem/router wired to the ethernet cable.
It isnt recognizing anything and it has something to do with the settings on the computer and the IP address on the computer and the router maybe. If someone can give me a step by step on how to get my newly formatted computer to even start recognizing my wired connection that would be great. It seems to be an on board ethernet hookup. Does this even work? or do I need a network adapter card for the computer. Basically my question is. How do I get a newly formatted computer to become internet ready on a completely different modem router setup
