    Since the reformat using the Respawn option now i cannot access the internet except bywireless. Cannot connect when using my hardwire connection. i have a DHCP constant feed from my provider (Verizon) but for some reason i cannot access the internet. Get error message the "Windows cannot find any Networks. i know my router works because i can get on using wireless connection. The problem started when i reformatted. Even tried manually putting in ISP address, Gateway Server and DNS server numbers. Did not work either. Any suggestions? Cannot talk to Roswell support until Monday and regular Alienware support was not much help. i thought using the Respawn 2 option would restore my computer to original factory condition but something happened.
