internet connection problem?

Question

ok heres the deal
the internet connection that i have works fine on my other computer .
now i just got a new second hand computer which works fine on other internet connections.
but when i put this new second hand computer on my internet connection it doesnt work
how can i fix this problem

Answer 1

get a wireless transmitter box.
one computer will be hooked up to dsl, and the wireless box is hooked up to the dsl box.
then any computer within a certain range picks up the connection and can surf the web.
thats what i do for my regular computer and my laptop.
my regular computer has dsl, and my laptop picks up the wireless connection.
you can buy wireless transmitter box at walmart for about 40-50 dollars.
also, you might need to buy a card to place in the computer, unless it is a laptop because laptops have it built in.
altogether it might cost around 100 dollars, but it is worth it.
ive never had any problems with mine! :)

Answer 2

What do you mean by "Internet connections?" Are you talking about different hardware - cable versus phone line, etc.?

If so, your second-hand computer likely doesn't have the necessary drivers to use your Internet connection.

If we understood more about the technical nature of your setup, we could help you fix the problem.

Answer 3

Try restarting the computer. If that doesn't work, open Network Connections and make sure the connection type is the same. Try creating a New Connection.

Answer 4

Use the intertnet conection wizard. Is the other puter still connected? You may have to set up a network.
