I have two computers (a laptop and a desktop). I can connect my ethernet cable to my modem and use the interent with my laptop but not my desktop. When I plug the ehternet cable into the desktop, it says that a network cable is unplugged. The same cable works fine on the laptop. Help.


Get a router, connect the router to the modem, connect both computers to the router and leave everything connected all the time, except when you take the laptop on the road.
