I installed W7 Home Premium on my bro's desktop pc (HP Pavilion a6600f)and it went online no problem on my internet, but when I brought it to his place, it wont connect to internet. I spent hours on phone trying things with Charter to get it to go online and it wont. The Charter internet techs have been to his house 3 times and the same results as I:The techs laptops and my laptop will go online using Ethernet no problem with same W7 OS. He doesn't have router, just internet modem, so no wifi. I have no idea what would cause this.I even did another fresh install of OS and had his Ethernet cable plugged and it didn't read it. Is his built in LAN going? Or that part of mobo? Do you think a LAN card would solve this problem?

Try a different ethernet cable. If it worked at your house that says it should work at his.

Could be NIC, could be drivers, or could be setup for a static IP

go to START>RUN now type CMD and ENTER key. now type IPCONFIG /RELEASE, wait 10 seconds, then type IPCONFIG /RENEW then wait a few minutes. See if that works.
if it does not work, then go back to the command prompt and type PING 127.0.0.1, post the results here, then type IPCONFIG /ALL and post what you get.

It isnt getting an IPv4 address from your dhcp and its getting an APIPA

if the firewall isnt blocking it and the dhcp isnt broken; then it sounds like the NIC is done for.

I had a similar problem only it was through a router. I could connect wirelessly or through Ethernet through the router but never through a direct Ethernet connection. I even had an ip address with a direct Ethernet connection.
Comcast never figured out the problem and I still to this day have no idea why this is so. They've been to my house over 5 times and spent countless hours on the phone with me and never got anywhere.
My advice to you would be to get a good cheap router. Especially if you're considering a LAN card. Here's a good cheap one here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166072
Rosewill has a $25 version if that's to expensive but I personally use that one and have had zero problems connecting to the internet and keep my full 100mb/s connection.
and you SHOULD be able to get an Ethernet connection from there. If not, you will with wireless.

Thank you for your help, it is greatly appreciated. I even had my desktop on his modem and it worked without router, but his didn't. I plugged my router into his modem and his pc and went online instantly. Kudos to you and everyone at overclockers.com. That was the strangest problem ive ever seen in 10 years of having pc's. Thanks again, NEOSTAR.
