A friend just gave me her old computer (dimension 2400) and I can't get it to connect to the internet. I am using my computer to type this mesage. I have a Verizon westell model 7500 has my computer wired with an ethernet cable. I also have a computer in my kids room using a usb wireless thingy to connect to the internet through the Verizon westell model 7500. Both those computers work great. The computer my friend gave me has an integrated Broadcom4401 network card. I've tried disabling and enabling the network card, still doesn't work. I've tried updating the network card driver, still doesn't work. I've tried installing the wireless stuff and plugged in the usb thingy ( like I have my kids computer set up), still doesn't work. I don't think it has anything to do with the network card since the wireless wont connect either. A friend showed me a site which explained how to make an Ultimate Boot Disk, so I did it, and it didn't help me at all. I don't know what to do with the disk. I tried using it and after it booted I could connect to the internet. But, I don't want to use that disk every time I want to get on the internet with that computer. I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions or comments would be great. Thanks in advance.
