Is the NIC showing link lights?
If not see if the internet adapter is disabled.
NIC + network interface card. There is usually LED lights where the ethernet cable plugs in to your computer. That is what Kgury is refering to. Also, I might add: what are you plugging the other end of the ethernet cable into?
Huh, the manual lists green, orange, yellow, or off...no red. I don't know what to tell you.
the other end into a at&t modem on local Ethernet plug 1 and I also try the broadband but nothing happen
It's the at&t that I don't need to connect the router.Is this just a basic DSL modem or does it come with built-in router functionality as well? All of the basic modems AT&T gives out in my area require a dial-up type of dialer to authenticate you before you can use the internet. If there is a router built in, or you have this connected to a router that's in between you and the modem you wouldn't need that, but it sounds like you are missing the authentication utility.
