RJ45 port not work
Hi !!!
I've a little problem.
I've on my Inspirion 8000 a RJ45 port for ethernet 10/100 network
But when i connect a RJ45 cable on it.
it does not work, i have no orange/green light on the port...
I've the good cable and a 5 hub ports. (they work well because i've tested them on other machines)
Do I need a PCMCIA card or anything else ?
Can you help me please ?
Sorry for my english....
Thank's

I thought i was in the good forum ;| ;(
But :

Do you know where i can find a network adapter and how does it look ?
Do you have a sample ?

Nosferalto,
It is possible your laptop does not have a network adapter in it even though the TJ-45 jack is present. I8000's could be configured with a modem, a network adapter, or a combination of both. But the external RJ-45 and RJ-11 jacks came on all models. Device Manager will tell you if there is a network adapter present.
You may get more informed responses to your questions if you post in the Inspiron - Network forum. This is the Dimension - Network forum for desktop computers.

Network Interface Card
To Access the Device Manager Go to My Computer>Right Click and Go To Properties>Hardware>Device Manager
Scroll Down to Network Adapters and Right Click for Properties. f you see a Yellow Exclamation Point next to the Adapter, more than likely the wrong driver had been loaded.

Nosferalto,
The I8000 supports CardBus PC cards, so a network adapter such as the Linksys PCM200 would work. However, other manufacturers such as Netgear, D-Link, Belkin, etc. make similar devices, so any brand name would be fine.
This is a good forum also, :) - but it specializes in Dimension desktop computers. The folks over in the Inspiron forum understand laptops much better and should be able to answer your infrared question.
