I have a3800HGV-B modem that has a cable going to a small device that is plugged into the AC socket
In the computer room, there is another small device plugged into an AC socket,that has a cable running from it to a Netgear GS108 device.
From the NetGear box,there is a cable running from one of its' ports to my computer(Win 7) that works great.
The NetGear also has a cable plugged into a port running to my other computer(Win XP), that cannot get to the internet.
The lights are lit up,but when I click on the web browser IE6,it won't access the internet.
Okay, the Win XP Computer sounds a little old and not up to date, IE9 is now available. Turn it off, it sounds like the Data Cable is connected you have lights. Turn it back on, give it time to Boot up properly and then check the lower right corner and let us know if you have any Icons with a red X. If you don't run IE again and see if you have Internet. If you do have a red X, you can check Device Manager and uninstall and install your Ethernet Hardware.
