Weird Lan Problem

Hello everyone, I am a noob with computers so be easy on me :D


Okay, this is my problem. I recently bought the Wifi Usb adapter for my Wii because I have a wire based router. I have cable internet and I've never had a problem until now. I tried connecting my the Wifi onto my newer computer and it wasn't working. It kept saying that I wasn't connected to the internet. But it was strange because I could browse the internet. So I went to my 'Network Connection' and notice nothing was there. But I could still use the internet, matter of fact it still says nothing is there and I'm typing this post. So anyways I tried that 'Create a New Connection' through the wizard multiple times and it says 'Your broadband connection should already be configured and ready to use' but it doesn't list a lan connection. So, I went to my other computer and it lists one. So I tried to connect the WiFi USB there and it works on that computer. The only problem is that computer is extremely old and slow so I wanted to get the WiFi USB working on this one. So my question is how do I get this computer to list a LAN connection.

Re: Weird Lan Problem

Please supply the following info, exact models of the equipment please.

The name of your ISP and country of residence.
Make/model of the broadband modem. If dial-up, please specify.
Make/model of the router (if any).
Connection type, wired, wireless.
Make/model of network card or wireless adapter.
Make/model of your computer (motherboard if home-built).
Version and patch level of Windows on all affected machines, i.e. XP-Home SP2.


Let's also see this:

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
