So I have my computer on for 3 weeks(a record). I'm playing a game and all of a sudden my internet dies. I go into the other room, look at the modem and the router and everything looks fine. I look at the other computer and I see that it has no internet either. So I powercycle through all the computers, modem, and router multiple times as well as tossing up the ethernet ports and cords on both ends. I tried plugging my cat6 cable directly into the modem and still no go. The only thing I managed to do was figure out that my comcast cable internet was working fine and I managed to get it working on all computers except my own. So I've tried pretty much everything to get internet on my own computer with no luck so I am here.
Here are some of the facts:
My ISP is working fine, internet is not the problem.
The little green led indicator light on both the cord as well as router are not recognizing my computer or the cat 6 ethernet cable.
I have tried all the basic troubleshooting, and I am getting ready to purchase a network card and just use that instead of my motherboard.
I'm coming here to see if anyone has any ideas before I purchase one. Thanks in advanced.
Here are the specs.
Wireless 2.4 GHZ broadband LINKSYS router WRT54G VERSION 2
Motorola Surfboard Modem SB5120
PC SPecs
DFI NF4 lanparty pci-e motherboard
amd 3200+ winchester
ati x800 xl video card
2x 512 mb mushkin black ram
Please help, the only thing I can think of is somehow the ethernet ports on my computer went bad. Also when I was powercycling through everything, when I restarted my computer, I got about 20 "Windows has recovered from a serious error" messages/popups.
