i've just reinstalled the new xp media edition after using the old xp
without any service packs for years. the problem i now have is that i
can't connect to the internet. i was trying to renew the ip address
with ipconfig, but my ISP said it wouldn't work because the network
card was not working - possibly because of a driver issue.
i've tried updating with the latest manufacturer's driver for the
onboard ethernet, as well as the microsoft driver. a friend also lent
me 3 pci network cards to try. i've had the same result with these
cards (although i've had to go with microsoft drivers on them).
there is one hang up i had during installation which i'm wondering may
be the culprit. when i was asked to insert the second installation
cd, the file iexplore.exe could not be found, and i had to continue
the installation without it.
any help much appreciated.
