Here is the run down.. I have formatted and re-installed with this disk before not on my comp though and havent had a problem The disk is the one that came with my computer.

I formatted and re-installed windows xp onto my computer. Usually during installation, before restart, it will check for an internet connection automatically. This time however, its like it skipped right through that step. It finishes installing xp with no internet connection check. When it does restart and finish installing xp, I go in to manually configure the connection, I have high speed, it says its already configured for highspeed but it still says there is no connection.

Ive tried resetting my modem, many times, and router xbox live. I have tried to connnect just straight through modem with no router.. Still no luck! Very fustrating. I have used the disk before on a dif comp and it checked for internet connection automatically. I am clueless as to why my comp cant recongnize the internet connection. Ive done everything I can think of and Ill try just about anything!! I want my comp back! You should first check to see if your network adapter na is setup and configured properly.

You want to go to Device Manager by right clicking on the My Computer icon from your desktop. Scroll down and click Properties. The Device Manager window will open listing all the devices for you machine. Look for na in the list. You would have a problem if 1. You would have to find the drivers for your na to reload it to fix this problem. Here you should see your na listed and showing Disabled, Connected or Network cable unplugged.

If it's disabled you can enable it by right clicking on the icon and selecting Enable. You probably won't see it as Connected because it would most likely be working. If the network cable is not plugged in then it would display Network cable unplugged. See if na is available Then check if you don't have any yellow icon in a form of!

Thats all. Wish you luck success. Thanks to both of you! I will try this in the next few days. Its def something I havent tried yet. I will get back to you There is so NA at all.
