Alright I got the computer! But now I have 2 problems;
1.) The CD drive wont read on the computer, how do I fix that?
2.) I am using a Linksys wireless router and I dont know how to make my computer connect to the Modem. Anyone help on that? Thanks
How many other drives are in the comp? And what are the drive letters of each drive? When running multiple drives, and depending on how they were plugged in, your CD-drive may not be seeing seen, as it wants to be the C: drive, but a harddrive is already called the C: Drive. Also check if its even plugged in correctly, with the right jumper settings. Check your device manager as well. See if its in there and maybe it just needs a specific driver that windows couldnt automatically find.
You have the Modem from your cable company, right? And the router?
Heres the wall |
From the wall, your cable, thick and round, will run into the modem. Your ethernet will run from the modem into your ethernet port on your computer. Thats the basic way.
Now, instead of ethernet running from modem to computer, run it from your modem, to your router. The back of your router will have a number of ports, and one of them will be separated from the others, and say Modem above it somewhere. Plug the ethernet cable coming from your modem, into that.
Now, you should see about 4 more ports. Plug another ethernt cord into one of these ports, into the back of your computer. Make sure everything is turned on. lol
Should look like this. Wall: Cable: Modem: Ethernet: Router: Ethernet: Back of your comp.
