Hi Guys
So I reformatted my laptop and the first thing I try to do was trying to get on the internet though my ethernet port but it wouldn't connect.
It keeps saying Unidentified Network, Access Limited Connectivity
I try windows diagnose and repair but nothing![]()
Oh and my OS is vista 32-bit
Please help

Most likely, when you reformatted you lost your network settings. Check the port - does the green light come on when you plug the cable in? If so then it's detecting the network. If no green light then try re-installing the drivers. They should be on the disk your laptop came with.
If you do have a green light then you need to configure your network settings. By default it should try for automatic network connection. Set it to all automatic and try again. If that's failing then you need to speak with whoever set up your network or your ISP.
How did you get on here to post with no network? If you have another computer available, just google this issue. It's not a hardware problem, it's a common network problem. -
man still nothing

Do you have and ! or ? in your device manager? Did you load the chipset?
Post your results from "msconfig /all" so we can see whats happening. The main numbers we need to see are the IP, Gateway and DNS servers. -
Sorry blue68f100 I'm not at home right now but at school

school ethernet port

make sure your router has dhcp enabled.

It would seem that my ethernet cable is bad, because I did it with a another
ethernet cable and it work.
but the one that went bad seem to work on my sister
laptop and my desktop.
oh well at lease it now works
so thanks for your help everyone
