To repair a LAN or high-speed Internet connection

1. Open Network Connections.
2. Before using the Repair option, try the following steps:
• Check the status indicator lights on the DSL or cable modem to verify that the connection to your Internet service provider (ISP) is working.
• Turn off the DSL or cable modem, and then turn it on again.
• If your Internet connection is not working after these steps, contact your ISP.
3. If media is connected properly, under LAN or High-Speed Internet, right-click the connection that you want to repair, and then click Repair.
