Forums - General - My Desktop's ethernet port doesn't work.

My ethernet port no longer works on my desktop. Is there something I can buy that I can put in the usb to make it work like an ethernet port? (i've checked with multiple cords- the ethernet completely doesn't work).

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes, there's stuff like that http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&rlz=&q=usb+ethernet&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=3909049789702220635&ei=AN3uS8SIC8_8OertyIAJ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDAQ8wIwAw#

That was just a random google pick, haven't reserached any reviews. But since it's a desktop, you can also put in an ethernet card unless all the PCI slots are already occupied.

Also check in the Device Manager whether it finds the ethernet port and reports a working driver.
