I have recently installed xp sp2 on a separate hd in a caddy. I am having trouble getting the xp system to access the net. I am using a vigor 2600 connected to the network port. So far, I have:- 1 Downloaded and installed the latest drivers for xp from the intel site. The board is a d875pbz and I am using the onboard network card. 2 Attempted to set up a connection to the internet by selecting the always on option from the internet setup wizzard. 3 If I unplug the network cable, I do not get a message in the sys tray indicating that the cable is unplugged. I get this in windows 2000. If I select the connection and choose the repair option, I get a message saying that it cannot continue to varify an ip address. So, any ideas as to where I go from hear?
