Why would my desktop not have an internet connection(dsl) but my labtop does from the same connection?
My desktop does not have an internet connection but my labtop does have an internet connection from the network on my desktop. I have dsl as my connection. On my desktop when I use Internet Explorer, I get the message The page cannot be displayed. I just need a connection to my desktop too.

Check that the default gateway and DNS server setting are the same on both machines.
go to start - run - and type 'ipconfig /all' and enter
Write this down and check the same for the notebook. Make sure they are the same.
Also check in internet explorer, tools internet options - connection - lan settings and see if they are the same for both of them.

How is your network setup? does the dsl modem connect directly to the desktop or is their a router?

also let us know what the status of the network card is. you can find this in device manager - which is found by right clicking the MY COMPUTER icon, selecting PROPERTIES, then clicking the HARDWARE tab, and clicking device manager... find your network card in the list and note any exclamation points or red 'x' s... if you dont see either of those on the network card it should be ok. if you dont see a network card there... you may need your driver reinstalled.
