I tried pinging and did an ipconfig and the pings came back at 100% loss. Belkin's
router pings at 192.168.1.2 but didn't return a ping. IPConfig didn't return anything
helpful either.
I did have that computer working on the internet when it was in my house. I'm wondering
whether the Earthlink software has destroyed the internet connection.
I'm also wondering whether simply putting a new ethernet card in would solve the
problem.
