Hi, Just do a reinstall of XP, then let me know what you have in device manager, specificly if you have an "other devices" category and what is in there.

There does not seem to be an active network device in device manager. There is one reference to a connection which it calls 1934 but there is no information displayed on this connection. If I look in device manager on my win 2k drive which works correctly, the intel network drivers are mentioned. I am wondering whether to start again with the xp installation, if I do this, do I let xp find a driver and not install the intel stuff or go ahead and install the intel drivers? Also, one other point, the first time I opened internet explorer, I was asked to set up the connection. I presume I select the always on with no password required? I am connecting to plusnet via the vigor 2600. I was a bit confused with this as there were two similar choices? thanks On 1 Jan 2005 at 22:44, Andrew Hodgson wrote: > Hi, > > Ok, do you have anything in device manager under network devices?
