Ohaa. . You tried Both.
Your may have to call ur ISP and get them to reneg on there end, and Push DHCP.
Just tell the tech you tried both USB and Ethernet.
Did you plug both of them in at the same time? Don't
Do get mad get even, and on the internet with the thing!
Foreal Delete all the Local Area Connections, Reboot, and let it make you a new one.
When you get it fixed you can say. .HaHaaaa I'm on the Internet now Mobo and do the Banana dance :banana:
I tried the sfc /scannow and it went all the way through.
lol, no i didn't plug them in both at the same time. i dont get why theyd have to renew on their end if its working with this laptop??
:think:
Uninstall the network drivers and remove all the local area connections from the list.
Reboot. . Then It will search for them. . insert driver disc or floppy.
And make a new Local Area connection
it wont let me delete it.
I dont know what else to tell ya man. . Everything from there on out is preddy technical . . Reg editing.
Just Install windows agian.
That's what I'm doing right now... hopefully it works. and to think this was just going to be a nice and easy install... 20 min max. HA! woulda been if the internet didn't mess up for whatever reason.
Also, thank ALL of you for helping and following the thread.
oh man this sounds like what happened to me sorta. i got a new hdd and went to install xp on it and everything went great but when i went to go use the internet nothing worked. after getting really pissed i looked for every cd that came with the computer and realized i never installed the drivers for the onboard ethernet plug. after that it worked fine. but from quickly reading through this thread i think thats already been ruled out. so all i can say its i feel your pain.
would this be the proper drive(s)??
