my current internet connection is run via a adsl modem, and in the back of my pc i plug the RJ11 cable into a RJ11 socket, simple enough!
I've now moved house which has wight cable installed, all i have now is a cable with a RJ45 connector and no socket in the back of my pc to plug it in to:( I've been told i need an ethernet adapter, so bought an ASUSNX1001 Fast ethernet network adapter, installed hardware and drivers and nothing happens  whats wrong, any ideas anyone? or have i bought the wrong thing? |

Ok so you have to correct equipment.
What are you plugging into? Modem? Router? Are you getting the green link lights on your equipment and on said new network card? |

You have lost me mate.
If your online whats the problem? And no, if she connects via a RJ45 cable she is using a standard 10/100 network card. |

Ah i think i may know why, its just come to me.
With NTL/Virgin when the TV Box detects a new computer on the network you have to register it. When opening up Internet Explorer for the first time it should redirect you to the login screen for your set-top box. If it doesnt point your web browser to > https://autoreg.autoregister.net/start.html Try that. |
