    Do you know what network card(s) are physically installed in your machine ?

    Once you know, you can add the relevant drivers ... but you need to know what network devices you are working with first.

    What brand/model is the machine ?

    you need to install network,card driver,you could go to control,panel,add hardware, search,detect new hardware.or open case ,look 4 a label on card ,eg dlink model 570c ,go to cybercafe,download ,the driver to a cdr,or usb stick.
    see dell support ,if its a dell, they have drivers for all thier pcs online.

    Everything is working fine, internet the works, it just seems like there is 2 os's installed on machine. I reinstalled because I felt like a full clean and my BF2142 game is not working. For some reason it wont recognise the disk. I thought it was because i had used virtual drive software like daemon tools but the reinstall should have sorted it. I even have a friends disk as well neither is reading. I can still work away on the machine but the second xp is weird and annoying.
