Internet "Cannot find server": new install and build

[Guest ScttLee]

I just installed XP Pro 64x on a new build. When I try to access the

internet, I get a "cannot find server" message. When I switch it back to my

old computer, I have access. Windows went through the internet wizard and I

tried three versions of set up, and still can not get connected. Any

suggestions?

 

New build

clean install of Windows Xp Pro 64x

MOBO Gigabyte GA P35-DS3L P35+ICH9

Broadband, no password needed, on LAN.

 

Thanks

It sounds like you need an NIC driver. What do you see in Device Manager

under Network Adaptors? Is there a yellow bang on the device?

Under the drivers, the Ethernet is has a big yellow question mark. I also

failed to load the CD for the motherboard drivers and chipset. After they

are loaded, I will try the internet again.

 

Thanks

The yellow question mark is now gone, but I still can not connect. I hade a

problem installing the chipsets drivers. Ethernet showed installed, by I

repaired it. The connections is not found. Network connections test finds

it and it passes.

Re: Internet "Cannot find server": new install and build

 

It now works. I unplugged the power for 30 minutes while I rearranged my

work area. When I plugged it back in it worked. Previously, I unplugged the

power for 2 minute with no access.

 

Thanks to all.
