No LAN icon or connection after installing xp pro

[Guest]

Similar to Esge's problem on 10/10/06.
After reading up on mine - I see threads on his registry issue everywhere -
nothing about this.
I did a clean install of Pro over Home and now I have No LAN icon or
connection and the wizard can't create one.
ipconfig /all shows nothing at all
automatically detect IP and DNS is all set correctly
old computer still connects to the cable modem just fine

Over my head - help.

After your clean install, you installed mobo chipset & other drivers for
your hardware?

Thanks for the response. No, I didn't install any new drivers. Last time I
did this to another computer last year, only printer drivers and obvious
stuff like that were needed. I'm not even sure what a mobo chipset is....but
I'm looking it up.

After the claen install you need to install the motherboard chipset and
other drivers eg sound/video etc
These are obtainable from cd's origonally supplied with your sys or if a
generic system from the individual hardware manufacturers web sites.
If however an OEM system, eg Dell, HP etc or Laptop, from the manufacturers
site, specific for your system

PS The LAN will be either part of the chipset drivers or via an external
card
