i living in a hostel and this is the only com and cable i
have..
any other ways to find out the problem?
and hor, can i safely assume that this is not related to the
network in my hostel, just my lappie hardware?
Have U found out if the rest of the hostel still having internet
access?
go next door and borrow one ethernet cable from them and try in
ur room...if it works...then ur ethernet cable is spoilt...if it
doesnt work...then return the cable and test ur laptop from their
room...if it works...then call the hostel people for repair...if it
doesnt...call ur laptop's hotline...maybe ur ethernet card/driver
got problem.
