A topic from Technology: Computer Hardware

I was using the Internet last night and suddenly my connection failed. Whatever I did, I was unable to reconnect, so I assumed it was a fault on the line. However, when I tried it again this evening, it still wouldn't work. Just to be certain that there wasn't a fault on the line, I plugged my MacBook into the router and it's working fine.

I cannot think what could be wrong with the PC, except I wonder if the socket for the lead to the router has failed.

Any ideas or suggestions?

What does the PC have to say about it's network connection?
Normally I have an icon in the system tray (bottom right hand side of the screen) that shows the connection and will tell you if it's connnected.
If that is not visible to you, you might go to Control Panel > Network Connections and check it from there...

The PC says it's trying to connect ...and not doing so. Meanwhile the router is connected because the Mac works fine.

erm.. not familiar with that message.
It does sound a bit as if eitehr the cable is knackered or else some part of the PC network hardware.

Normally my blue icon either reads "Speed 100MB/s, Status Connected" or "Disconnected" as appropriate.
There is another similar icon that gives router information but that tends to hide itself...
