Ok, so there's a power outage at my house last night...and everything reboots like normal, well I go over to my computer to get on last night...about 2 hours later...and there is an Install Wizard up..so i'm like...WTF? and it says for an Ethernet..when u click install..it says that it needs a CD...I don't know if it's the CD from the Internet Provider, or the CD for the card in my computer...but anyways...I call my local cable people..and all the guy says is ..."You got a Bad Ethernet Card"..and he was like.."is that all sir?" I was pissed..cause he didn't elaborate about what the hell I can do to get it fixed...so my point to all this is..how do I know if it's my computer's ethernet card...or the modem's ethernet card? is there a way to search in your computer to find out if it's bad???
