Do you see a network connection under the "Network Connections" page in Windows?

 

[custompc79]

Are the network drivers even loaded?

 

[custompc79]

i dont know

 

[custompc79]

i just installed the network driver. how do i connect it to the router

 

[Geoff]

If you can see the network icon in the Network Connections page, and if it shows your connected, then you're on the router (most likely). If it says unplugged, then its either disconnected or the router/pc isnt configured properly.
