in message : HELP!!! I have a LAN using a broadband router and my
: connection to my laptop has stopped working.
Connection to your laptop from where, the router? If so, say so. What does
"stopped working" mean? What do you SEE?
: My connection
: to the router is working,
WHAT connection to the router? Your xDSL/Cable connection to the router is
active? Is that what you mean?
: but now my original network card
: is not.
Original network card where? laptop? Is this a redundant statement from
above or something else?
: It keeps telling me that my nework cable is
: disconnected!
Is it?
: I'm on a wireless card and that works.
How can it be disconnected and work? Do you have a built in NIC and also a
wireless NIC but you're showing the internal [wired] NIC in your system tray
that says you're disconnected? Well, if you dont' have a cable connected to
it to a hub, then you ARE disconnected.
: I
: just can't connect to my email or browser. What do I do?
I have no idea. This is not enough information. What errors do you get
regarding email, browsing, etc.?
