Cant connect to internet
I have a brand new Inspiron 1521 - plugged the internet cable in and it won't
connect to the internet or the network! Any suggestions? The Inspiron has Vista, Broadcom Integrated controller and my internet is broadband cable , (its a satellite type connection, i don't use a modem and i don't use a router) On my other 3 computers, i plug the internet cable in and the internet is up and running. I tried pinging and i get a 169.254.... number. But it says local access only. Any help, suggestions, links, whatever i'll take it Thank you! Natalie
