    Question Ex-Server PC to Home Use

    I have a PC that was originally used in a network. It accessed the internet through the use of the local network. Now I'm trying to run a CAT5 cable to it from a hub and it won't connect to the internet. All the other computers on the network are configured and function properly when connecting but the new one won't connect.

    It's Roadrunner. It's run into a wireless hub but the desktop PC I'm having trouble with isn't configured for wireless so i decided to run CAT5 to it.

    Thx but I got it figured out. I found a compatible wireless card and I just ran that instead.
