Cable modem and router connection

Yes, it could be a bad NIC. First off, a little more info would be greatly appreciated. What OS's are you running on all the pcs, what brand/model of router? I have had experiences with WinXP not being able to see a network due to a built-in firewall. If you are running XP on your machine, turn that firewall off (I think it is in network properties). Also, be sure that your workgroup and dns settings match those of the other pcs. Provide a little more info and I may be able to help more.

There are three computers running two of them along with mine are running win98 the third is xp. The other two computers are all fine up and running but not mine. My computer was also the one wich the cable modem was installed with and it came with the nic from the company, so this computer was running fine until it was moved to another location in the house but the router is lit up and also the nic in the back of the pc.

Did you try swapping the cables between the router and the PC that doesn't work with one of the PC's that does work. I had a similar problem with 2 PC' one a Win98 and a WinME, the cable swap worked it was just a fluke because both cables are OK.

I did that.The other computer worked on my line but my pc didnt.

have you treid pinging the routers gateway? If so have you pinged a internet address? Had the same problem with mine and I turned everything off. Turned on the cable modem, let it have all the lights connect, then turn on the router, again let it light up, then turn on the computer in question. If you are using DHCP, this should help.

Hope it helps?
