Do I have a NIC card?
I have a Dell Dimension XPS T450. The Local Area Connection says "SMC EZ Card 10/100 (SMC1211TX). However, whenever I connect my DSL or Cable Internet connection to this computer, it says 0 packets sent and received and the ip addres is 192.168.114.239. If not the NIC card, is there any other problem any else has experienced?

I also tried ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew and got the following message.
Windows 2000 IP Configuration
The following error occurred when renewing adapter Local Aarea Connection: DHCP Server unreachable

Check your TCP/IP properties to make sure that the LAN connection is set to receive IP and DNS server addresses automatically.

I have both Cable and DSL. I'm in the process of switching from Cable to DSL so that's why I have both. Cable never worked so now I'm trying with DSL. In any case, I went to Walmart and got the NC100 Network Everywhere Network Adapter, installed it and now I'm surfing the Internet on my Dell. I guess I really didn't have a NIC.
Thanks all.
