Connecting to a home wireless/wired internet via wireless or ethernet
hi, i reinstalled Microsoft WIndows XP Proffesional Service pack 2 on to my computer as i needed a fresh start. but now i cannot seem to be able to connect to either a wireless network in my home or through an RJ75 ethernet cable, i do how ever think that the wireless card has now broken but that shouldnt stop the ethernet from working. anyhow i have tryed to connect to a net work through a wizzard, but it doesnt work, even if i plug in the ethernet cable, there is a confirmation light next to the socket like there should but no confirmation on the acctual screen. usually on the bottom right side of the screen by the clock there is usually an image of two computers one infront of the other, but that is not there either. i hope someone can help.thanks1 person needs an answerI do too

You need to install the device drivers for both the Ethernet port and wireless adaptor. If you don't have them on hand on hand, you'll need to download the drivers on another computer to a thumb drive or burn to CD. It is best to get them from your computer manufacturers web site.You may also need, or should get the newest, drivers for your sound card, display adaptor, etc.--"Braderxx13" wrote in message news:Email removed for privacy...hi, i reinstalled Microsoft WIndows XP Proffesional Service pack 2 on to my computer as i needed a fresh start. but now i cannot seem to be able to connect to either a wireless network in my home or through an RJ75 ethernet cable, i do how ever think that the wireless card has now broken but that shouldnt stop the ethernet from working. anyhow i have tryed to connect to a net work through a wizzard, but it doesnt work, even if i plug in the ethernet cable, there is a confirmation light next to the socket like there should but no confirmation on the acctual screen. usually on the bottom right side of the screen by the clock there is usually an image of two computers one infront of the other, but that is not there either. i hope someone can help.thanks
