Alright, a few months ago my computer was hit by lighting, surge protector didn't do diddly
now, this fried the power supply (fixed) and caused the ethernet plug to not work
There was a thread about this but for the life of me I can't find the damn thing
The ethernet cord works, the router works, it all works, it's the connection to my computer that's the problem. It should light up green when you plug it in, it doesn't.
I was getting by fine by leeching internet from my roommate with a wireless dongle but now that's stopped working and I have some spare cash lying around, I figure I might give a repair a try.
my computer is a little old (6-ish years) but if you tell me I need a new computer I'll cry.
also I am computer retarded so please keep that in mind

You'd be hard pressed to find one in a store/online that wasn't PCI. Hell, if you want, get USB.
guaranteed?
You're the one with the computer. Go ask google. I doubt anyone here is in a position to offer a 100% guarantee on something they've never seen.
But yes, it should work. Rip out the old one and bring it with you if you want to ensure to avoid a return trip.
You have a desktop and not a laptop, right?
You're not running some funky operating system like some obscure flavor of Linux, right?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
DO not rip the connection out if it's soldered to the motherboard though. I only say this because I've seen it done.
my old one was soldered to the motherboard so no, I'm not taking it out
just used one more of my PCI slots
works and I am internet bound again
my PC doesn't have a wireless card and I have no real networks to bum off any more so the Nic card was the cheapest and fastest way
thanks
solved
