Network Card Problem

[Meltman]

I was sitting at my computer watching a file download when all of a sudden it stopped downloading. I opened up a browser window to check, and that wouldn't connect either. I opened up the network places folder, and I couldn't connect to the other computer on the network either.

I went to the other computer, and that computer could not connect to this one, but it could connect to the internet just fine. I take the wireless network card from that computer and install it on this one, and now I can connect to the internet.

Any thoughts?

Maybe its gotten loose?

It's integrated on my motherboard. And it shows as working, it just...won't.

This morning I realized that our other computer has a network card that isn't being used, so I'm going to try that one and see if it works.

Ok.....it decided to fix itself today.
