does your network have encryption enalbled in the ROUTER?? like WEP or WPA?? (did you set it up yourself)??

there are MANY possible NETWORK ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE THAT..

do the network adapters show up in the device manager?? without yellow !!! marks??

what models of WIFI and ETHERNET (wired) network adapters are listend in the device manager?

 

could you let us know what router/switch settings you have changed.
have you tried just doing a restart with the cable in.
is Upnp switched on in the router and the laptop ?

EDIT: BigO, do you need lunch manager for Ethernet to work. im sure you don't.

 

nope not on amy models i know of///

what WIFI does the OP have???

 

Most probably Atheros....

 

this is the wifi card he should have installed.
Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
or depending on mobo code.
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01

 

I guess AR5005G wi-fi comes on the Prespa1 i940gml mobos....my previous 3680 mobo had it..!! Lets leave it to the OP to surprise us..

 

FK me... I dont even know whats the or a router is... I just have a friend who have lagtop (cant remeber the name of the lagtop) and he have a cable for internet at home. He had Vista, so his pc was laging like **** I rewrited him XP insted of Vista. After instalation I pluged in same home internet cable and internet was working fine. And now same **** with windows for me too. Had Vista so my net was working, I rewrited XP, home internet dosent work anymore. If its coz of drivers, I tryed to download bunch of drivers, writed everything in, but still no progress. If u can only tell me, step by step, or ask me the questions, steb by step coz, I am like lamer on logtops...

 

i think i know why it doesn't work!!

"download a bunch of drivers, installed them (writtede them in) and still no progress"

1. what version of windows is installed NOW?
2. do you know how to get to the device manager?
3. how many things show up with YELLOW !!!'s that is from installing all the extra INCORRECT DRIVERS
4. do you have your RESTORE CDS,
5. do you have any data left on the PC you cannont live with out?
6. is XP the Operating SYSTEM you want to have installed?


there some non technical questions to answer... that way i can figure out how best to help you...

 

1,2,3 questions hope this can answer
4. no I dont have restore cd :/
5. I am not sure about what data are u talking about
6.Vista is slowing my pc 50%, so I prefere XP.
Sry for trobbles with me. Only starting to known logtop...

 

you need more ram/memory

you need all the drivers for other devices.which could well be all your internet cards Ethernet/wifi and your modem.
or more commonly known as Network Controlers

 

here you go a link to your drivers..enjoy

Thx Phil , only 1 problem how I can instal LAN driver? Coz there is no setup, Same with network driver.

 

Go into device manager, if it is not already installed, you should see Ethernet Device....something in Unknown Devices..
Right click, reinstall driver....guide the windows device installer to the location of the INF where you downloaded that LAN driver and install by pressing Next..!!

 

this happend than I wirted in all these drivers, and after pc restart, My logtop laging way more when ever.

 

this happend when I tryd to press on "My Network Place" right mouse button and pressed "Disconnect Network Drive..." so still there is Lan drivers, but I dont know how to instal tham coz there is no setup.

 

I will try that

 

this sounds a bit harsh but. have you got any data that you need ?
have you tried system restore in windows ?
or you could do a complete fresh install of xp.
move all your important files over to the D: drive if you have one. Then do a clean install of XP.

something is eating your drivers lol

Phil

 

"This wizard Could not find the software on your computer for..." I tryed with all these unknown drivers, with all these LAN drivers, Nothing...

 

well ok I will try to reinstal XP

 

Then select and install the drivers manually, yourself....

 

here's a screen shot of my set-up showing the D: drive in my computer. if you do a clean install move files here they are/will be safe

 

From the looks of it, you still have to install the chipset driver and SD card storage driver, apart from wireless and LAN....
I dont get it, what is actually the problem here..??

 

i think he/she lost internet. but looking at the screen shot they may have been deleted. it showing them as not there instead of showing a warning.

have you had a look in your event logs ?

 

ok I instaled new windows everything, instaled all drivers, and same problem I dont know how to instal Lan driver... its the only problem wich left... how to instal it? I tryed to reinstal driver and going to direction where was LAN "driver" but system can't find anything useful there... I tryed update, same... SO can any1 help me with that lan instalation?
And yes I am geting Warnings for not instaled drivers.

 

Are both, WLAN and LAN not installed..??

Which drivers are using to install..??

 

ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/note...drivers/winxp/ its the link of my drivers, instaled all of tham, but dont know how to instal LAN and Network Drivers, there is no setup. I tryed to instal it by update or reinstal driver (wich isnt working) I went to the link where were my Lan, Network drivers, but pc cant find the setup. So actioly I am out of ideas...
P.S. maybe its doomed not to work on XP?

 

Download the LAN driver and extract it to a folder in the desktop....
