I have a Compaq laptop and I'm using a ethernet card to connect to the internet but it's not connecting. The computer identifies the network card the card and it seems to be working, I connect the ethernet cable that provides the internet connection but nothing happens when I try to connect to the internet. I try to repair the connection but it doesn't work. There is just no information being received by the laptop through the cable. How can i make the internet connection work?

Thanks
