Hi,
I recently reinstalled XP Home. Usually, once I get to the start menu after a reinstall, it will automatically detect the internet right away, prompting for new updates.
That being said, the only network connection showing is my I394. I try to "create a new connection", since the modem is connected directly to the network card in my desktop but it doesnt want to cooperate. I know the internet is working because I am using my laptop to write this inquiry, so I know the modem and router work. I am usiing Comcast.
Anything I should be doing to get an active internet conneciton to activate windows and update drivers?
Thanks!
