The PC Link light on my modem is off when I connect it to my desktop, but it still works through my laptop. I called Comcast and after a series of tests they said my ethernet card was fried. I have no experience messing with the insides of the tower. Is technical know-how required to replace the ethernet card or it is as simple as taking the old one out and putting in the new one? Do you know of a good place to get a new one? I'm running windows XP. Thanks.

As mentioned, replacing it is very easy. Here is a $6.99 example of what you're after:

You will be surprised at how simple it is to change . Computers are basic plug -un plug parts. Get 1 of the guys where you are getting replacement parts to show you (on in store comp) where it is . Go home . Do it your self.

It's really easy to replace. You just pull the old one out and insert the new one into the slot that the old one was in.
