Ok so I've been using WiFi connection on my computer for a while (using a Belkin wireless adapter), because I haven't been able to buy a proper Ethernet cable for my computer. So now I have the money, and able to buy an Ethernet cable to connect to my Modem and get good internet connection. But as I go to connect the cable onto my motherboard, nothing happens. The computer says it wouldn't let me connect because I don't have any "internet connection" when I clearly do. Every time I try to get onto a Broadband Connection it keeps giving me error 651. I have tried A LOT of things and non seem to work. could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

did you plug it into the right ethernet port on your modem? one of the ones labeled 1,2,3,4

and have you checked your LAN drivers are enabled?

Try installing the Ethernet drivers for your motherboard.
