Just installed XP Pro now no network

[Guest]

I just installed XP Pro and when after installation I didnt have a network
connection of any kind. I have integrated wireless which is my preferred way
to connect to the internet but my computer isnt even recognizing it is there.
It doesnt recognize my ethernet connection either.

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated--Thanks

Install the drivers?

Can you give me a little help on how to do that? I dont have any of the stuff
that came with the computer? Will I be able to get the drivers online?

Go to the manufacturer's web page (of wither the wireless network devioce or
the entire system) and go to their support area. Usually in their downloads
section, they have drivers for your system/device. You need to download
them and get them to the machine in question. If you are missing the
network drivers - you may be missing others as well.

Open Device Manager and see what devices still are "question marks" because
you need drivers. If this is a laptop or something like a Dell/Gateway -
they probably have all the drivers you need on their web support pages based
off model/serial number.

Thanks I was able to get to the Toshiba Website, and they made it pretty easy
to find the drivers. I hope a few drivers will solve the problem. Thanks again
