What kind of connection are you refering to?

Lord Kain · 10-11-2007, 08:26 AM

yup, because if you have cable with DHCP, you just have to plug it in.

A dial-up though, will need a few codes here and there. So tell us

Not sure about your motherboard, but my old motherboard's network card wouldn't work until I installed the motherboard software to use it.

I'd download a copy of all of your drivers just incase.

Yeah, you'll need to install the system drivers, but the ISP should just be plug and play.

Your router isn't detected? You neglected to mention whether you are using a wireless or wired connection. It sounds like your NIC driver did not get reinstalled, so you probably need to download and install that. Otherwise, check start>>run type cmd and press enter. Then run ipconfig to see if you obtained a valid ip address from the dhcp server.

okay after so much fuss of contacting ISP, installing drivers off the cd.. it FINALLY connected! woo what a relief. After re-installing windows, the Ethernet driver wasnt installed, so i had to install that once i found it.. all is fine now. thanks
