It's not a PCI card, but it is an Ethernet port than can communicate to any other Ethernet devices. Is she having problems with it?

Yes. The school services at her school are lazy and no help. She has a UTP cord connected to the Ethernet jack in her room. However, it does not work.

There should be a green and an amber light at the top of the port on her computer. They should light up when she's plugged in. If they don't, then the jack is dead, or her cable is bad. |

Not all ports have lights on them.
Go into your network connections and if the two little computers are lit up, you're connected.. or you can double click on the connection and it will say "connected" or "disconnected". Also, right click on my computer and goto properties, hardware, and device manager. Look in that list for network adapters and see if it's listed in there. Maybe the drivers are not loaded. Todd |

She is brining her computer up here tonight and I am going to run some tests on it to make sure everything is working on the computer side. I think she said the amber green light was lighting up but you know how women are with computers.
