So I plugged a 3M Ethernet cable from my routher into the Ethernet slot in the back of my computer (I built it if that would arise to be a problem) and I unplug the adapter I use for Wi-Fi at the minute and it simply does not display the cable to be connected. Is there anything I need to enable? I have tried the same cable with my laptop and it worked fine, to determine if it was the cable or the configuration of the PC which was the issue.

Any help is welcome
Thanks

I didnt, but as my computer won't recognise it I dont know where to download it from? Is there a way to manually find a driver to download from the internet?

You can find it from the manufacturer's website. This will depend if you bought your computer or built it yourself.

Post the specs of your system, particularly the make and model if it was prebuilt.
