Gatway Laptop T-1625
Wireless connection works fine. The wired connection doesnt work at all, tried a few different know good patch cords/ports on the switch that test fine with other computers. No lights flicker on the laptop.
The only device I have listed in device manager under network adaptors is realtek RTL8187B wireless network adaptor. There are NO unknown devices listed.
I checked the bios and see no mention of the wired Ethernet port. I checked for bios updates and nothing is listed on gateways website.
OS is Vista Home Premium. I need the network connection to ghost the drive so I can reformat with XP.
Think its a hardware issue or am I missing something stupid with this?
