Re: Can't connect anymore

I have even bypassed the Ethernet built into the house and run a temporary wire from the offending desktop directly to one of the ports on the wireless router.

environment has changed without my knowledge. My laptop will
use that Ethernet just fine when I carry it in there. What
can I do to correct this new unknown problem. Remember, it
connected at Microcenter with no problem, so something in my
house changed, and I made no changes. My other 4 computers
on that switch work just fine. TIA, Paul

Could be a bad cable. Are you connecting at Microcenter with the same cable used at home?
