    I just downgraded my HP Pavilion DV5-1017nr from Vista to XP, thanks to all the great information on this forum. My device manager is completely clean (not showing any yellow question marks) but I still have no internet, wired or wireless. I've installed all drivers and my internet connection box is still blank. Could anyone help? Thank you very much in advance.

    Check in device manger, if drivers are not installed, then install manually.

    Everything under device manager is there. Nothing is coming up in my network connections folder. Really odd. Any ideas?

    What type of wireless device do you have? Intel or Broadcom brand?
