Setting up Internet Connection (XP User), Need help!

Wireless?Did u try to add internet connection?

Nah its wired. I've tried all kinds of tutorials but can't find one to help.

Is the network card working properly?

EDIT: You may need to download the network card driver on the computer you have a connection on, and then put in on a thumbdrive, and install it on the comp you're having issues with. I'd bet money this is the ticket.

This may sound dumb but did u make sure the wire is plugged in properly?Make sure you have opened a second port on your router?

Yes the cord is plugged in. Haha.

How would I check to see which driver I need to download? What's the command prompt for diagnosis again? Dxdiag?

I don't know about all that command prompt stuff. I'm no genius, but I would just go to your device manager, look for the little yellow "caution" or whatever sign it is they use to indicate the device is not working properly. I haven't used XP in awhile, but after that, you should see what the device is, and just google it (+ driver download). There's likely to be more than 1 device indicating it's not working properly, just look for the network card though, and deal with the others after you get your connection working.

Also, you could look on the site of the comp manufacturer for the drivers, if you got the serial or product # you may be able to just put it in, and a list of drivers for that particular comp with come up. Unless of course, it's a custom-built comp.

...custom built. Thanks for the info though. I'm about to flip it back on and try to get it running. God I'm tired of using my Android as a computer

It's like the computer is less than factory settings. No desktop icons, hardly anything on the Start menu list. Idk if I reinstalled it correctly (90% sure) or what.

Any time I go through the "Create new connection" wizard for Dsl/ cable nothing.happens.
