Ethernet connection with Vista
Before my son took his laptop to a LAN party we could easily switch back and
forth between wireless and wired connection to our Linsys WRT54G router. One of the guys at the LAN party changed settings somewhere so they could hook up. Since then the laptop will only connect wirelessly to our home network and I can't figure out how to make a hard wire connection.

Can you connect the vista to the router using Cat 5 cable? Also posting the
result of ipconfig /all here may help. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Jo" wrote in message ...

Thank you but in the mean time I found it. They had set the IPs to a
specific address rather than auto. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Can you connect the vista to the router using Cat 5 cable?
