I have tried restarting the computer and I checked the connection an upwards of ten times. Does anyone have any ideasThank you so muchI have a firewall port and cord but it still isn't working. The problem is that the computer doesn't realize that it's connected. The computer doesn't recognize it at all.Also,i have gotten it to work a few times before =
