Please post the following for a working PC and for the problem PC.

Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If necessary use removable media and a text (Notepad) file to get the results to a computer with internet access.

this is what came up when i followed your directions

 

[Squashman]

I assume that is your working PC. How about your NON working PC.

 

[rizzle425]

the problem with the other desktop pc is that when i unhook the cord from the laptop and hook it in to the "non working pc" i cant go onto the internet with that computer

 

[rizzle425]

and i dont know how i would get the info from the "non working pc" to this one so i could post it

 

[TerryNet]

If necessary use removable media and a text (Notepad) file to get the results to a computer with internet access.

 

[rizzle425]

im sorry, can you say that in simpler terms please, like what exactly do i need to do?

 

[TerryNet]

Paste the results into a file. The easiest kind of file to use for this purpose is a text (.txt) file. Unless you have another text editor you like I suggest using Notepad, which is part of all Windows versions.

Save the file on a floppy disk, or a ZIP disk, or a CD, or a DVD, or a USB flash drive, or an external hard disk, or any other removable medium you can think of. Move the removable medium to a computer that has internet access. Copy the contents of the file to a message here.

Paste the results into a file.

Save the file on a floppy disk, or a ZIP disk, or a CD, or a DVD, or a USB flash drive, or an external hard disk,

If using removable media (Floppy, Zip Disc, External Hard Drive, USB Flash drive), you can also have IPCONFIG save the results directly to the media. Saving to the "A" floppy would use a command line like ...
IPCONFIG /ALL >A:\IPCFGLOG.TXT

If burning to a CD or DVD, you could first save to the root of the C: drive with ...
IPCONFIG /ALL >C:\IPCFGLOG.TXT
and then have the burning software burn the file from the root directory.

okay none of those options were available to me...amazingly...so i decided to write it all down and retype it in this message and here is what came up on the "non working pc"

thats what i got....sorry it took me so long to reply with those specs, like i said i had to write it down and retype it on this pc and such

Is the Ethernet Port on the problem PC built in? Has the PC ever been rebuilt and drivers need reinstalling? Is the Local Area Connection disabled? (control panel>network connections - if it is right click and enable)

Also, try cabling up the PC simultaneously to the laptop. If you only have one cable, shut down the laptop, disconnect the cable and wire in the PC to a separate port, then boot the PC.

 

[TerryNet]

"Cable Disconnected" could mean bad LAN port on the router, bad cable or bad NIC as well as the diriver/settings issues hermes raised. Do you get a LED lighting on the router and on the computer when you plug the cable in?

As hermes said, in Device Manager check for any missing drivers and make sure the connection is enabled.
