I've got a router here in my office. Two computers are getting wireless internet from it, one is getting internet through an ethernet cable. I'm trying to put one more on with another ethernet cable but it won't work. Any ideas?

Just a WAG here, but it's possible adding another machine exceeds the capacity of what the router can provide. Do some research on the router and find out. If it can handle the additional machine, the next thing to do is make sure the machine is configured properly and setup to receive the net via ethernet. You might also check the router's setup menu. Some routers can turn ports on and off through their setup menu.

Regards.

Hmm, problem solved. It turned out to be the antivirus software. Thanks.
