You can find out using one of those testers that allows you to determine if it's fried or not...a continuity tester of sorts.

But really, the router can't find it and give it an IP address, chances are, it's damaged.

You can also buy one of those cables that converts a controller port to a female USB to connect HD's and flash drives. That should work as well.

lol jesus, i dont know if im willing to commit 40 dollars only to find out what i already suspected, that the ethernet port is dead, if i could find one for about 5 to 10 dollars i would definitely jump on that train, but thanks tho, i may still consider that route if worst comes to worst


that 2nd adapter you mentioned sounds interesting tho, i have never heard of one, you got a name or a place where i can find one??? that might prove to be infinetly more viable than just transferring files over using dvdrs
