Internet access Symptom I cannot connect to the Internet. Possible solution Contact your ISP for assistance. Verify that you are using the proper cables for your Internet connection type. Your computer may have a dial-up modem and an Ethernet network adapter (also called a network interface card, or NIC). A modem uses a standard telephone cable while the network adapter uses a network cable to connect to a local area network (LAN). Do not connect a telephone cable to the network adapter, and do not plug a network cable into a telephone service line; doing so may damage the network adapter.
