Well, for wired connection , you need to setup first in order to use , set the ip address , speed , in about:config etc , which specifies the LAN specification. then only u can go ahead. , but for wireless , its not required since its plug and play like.
So my girlfriend's apartment gets internet service through Pavlov Media, and has both wired and wireless options. I had my desktop plugged into the wired LAN through the wall outlet, but then I unplugged it to connect to Xbox live. My Xbox recognized the wired connection but would not connect, and wouldn't even get past the networking phase. I tried plugging my desktop back in, and it didn't work either. The odd thing is that the wireless still works on my laptop. When I tried the devices both of their MAC addresses were registered with Pavlov so I don't think that is the problem. I was wondering if by chance there is any way there could be a problem with the outlet or if there is anything I should try.
Thanks in advance for the help,
