Hello,

For some reason my computer lost its ability to connect to the modem via ethernet. I am not sure what happened, but normally there is a small green light on the ethernet port and it has now turned red. I unplug the connection and get some yellow flashes and can hear the computer cranking, but never can reconnect to the modem. The computer knows when I unplug the cable so it seems to know that the port is there. Is it possible to buy a new ethernet card and insert it into an available pci slot? I have checked msconfig and had no luck and have power cycled the modem like it is going out of style. The computer is 3 years old, so it is relatively outdated. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Jim
