That there would be your Ethernet (LAN) port.

Thanks but now can you please tell me why I am still not able to get connected. Have tried several times but nothing happens would you suggest I do a reformat and possibly get the drivers that I need too connect or just leave it alone.

lol, reformat seems a bit excessive >_<

First off is the network adaptor enabled in the 'network connections' window?

Second, what are you connecting to? The cable modem?

Are there any setting that your cable modem requires you to set? (like IP address, etc)

Does anything at all happen when you try to plug into the network/modem?


If you have drivers for your chipset or the network controller see if reinstalling them helps.
