First thing to do is to check the back of your PC, or laptop, and see if you
can visiually locate the network adapter. This is normal a jack that look
like a phone jack, but needs more that 4 wires (8 exactly.) Once you find
it, check to see if there is any indicators (LED lights) are on. If there
are no lights, then your network adapter is "dead".
