    In my college dorm, we have internet access enabled via ethernet straight out of the wall. Unfortunately, I can't connect b.c the 6TO4 adapter under Network in Device Manager has a yellow exclamation. Under the "Currently connected to:" symbol in the notification area has the ethernet connection under only Unknown with Local access only and not a proper network name with internet access too. Everything used to work fine.. and now I have resorted to using a router 12" under this desk to convert that ethernet connection into a WiFi signal just to post on this forum. What should I do?? Thanks in advance!

    Uninstall the ethernet driver and install it again from HP's website.
