Well lets the get scoop of your setup first, assuming you are behind a router - are there other computers connected to the router as well? Your running XP on your laptop? Does your laptop have wireless capabilities? Link to post Share on other sites

What you may want to try is disable the wireless feature before connecting to the ethernet. Sometimes if it picks up a wireless connection and tries to auto connect to it, it will cut out from the ethernet to do so., Link to post Share on other sites

Type ipconfig - It'll show 3 ips - 1st being your IP address found on the network such as 192.168.1.5 2nd don't worry about 3rd "Default Gateway" - should be something like 192.168.1.1 Link to post Share on other sites
