The new computer I just built can't connect to the internet and I've narrowed it down to a problem with the hardware. Any ideas on what I might have missed when building the computer?

Are you sure it's got to do with your hardware? Try calling up the company of whom your with.

Are you connecting via ethernet cable or wireless? If cable, are you using the same cable to post from the machine youre using now?

I had the same problem after I put my new computer on line. It turned out to be the mac address.

I also had the problem when I hooked up my new system to a LAN cable. Turns out I didn't install the druver :P I felt like an idiot then
