My Dad just installed XP Professional over XP Home.
After this was completed he had no network connectivity
to his Verizon DSL connection. If I do an ipconfig, I
get nothing. Just the Title "Windows IP Configuration"
and a prompt on the next line. I can't find his Local
Area Connection either. Nothing much shows up in his
Add/Remove Programs but he believes all of his files are
still there in the C Drive. Could you please offer some
suggestions here to allow me to install the network
aspect of XP? Or how to at least get him back to how it
was before. Any online references to this? I couldn't
find any. This is a nightmare. Thanks.
 
It sounds like your network card is not being recognized.
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers for it. If this does
not work, try a new card.
