    I need some help from a few genius friends here! A few months ago, I got a Dell Insprion 8600 laptop from a family member in the US - they sent to me here in Europe where I currently live.
    The laptop will not recognize the internet connection cable so I can only go online via wifi. I know the laptop would work faster if I could get it online via the cable. I have checked everything I found online but it still won't recognize the connection. Does anyone have any suggestions? My family said that it worked fine in the US when connected to the wall.

    I would appreciate some tips as I am at wit's end! Thanks in advance!
