    Hi
    I just bought an Acer Extensa 5630EZ, and I installed XP in it. Everything is working fine except that I dont have any internet access. I installed the Ethernet controller (by installing the Broadband LAN driver)but the Network Controller in Device Manager is with a yellow bubble and an ! in it. Any help would be very helpful so I can get onto the internet. Thank you. Also, does anyone know which driver I need for Wireless Internet? Thanks
