Ethernet cable
I am trying to set up Adelphia internet on my Dell DImension 3000. However when I connect the ethernet cable it reads as unconnected. Also when I look at where it is plugged in, it is not lit. There is only 1 area to plug in the cable and I know the cable works because it connects my room mates computer to the internet just fine. I am easily frustrated with computers and not schooled in the language, so please explain as simplistically as possible, thanks.
To help troubleshoot this problem, go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.

Hi there.
Looks like you have a faulty ethernet cable.
Try updating your drivers through manufacturers website or try getting some new updated ethernet cable.

Right click on the icon for My Computer and select Properties from the drop-down menu. In the Windows that opens, click on the Hardware tab then on the Device Manager button. Click the + sign next to Network Adapters. Tell me what is listed there.
