After reformatting XP, my computer does not display my Ethernet/network connection

I reformatted and reinstalled XP, service pack 2.  Device Manager does not display a network, nor the fact reckognize my ethernet connection.  I have a Linksys router.  To install it, I have to be on the internet.  I can't be on the internet without an ethernet connection.  How can I fix it?

Hello

I feel when you go into Device Manager there is a yellow question mark. If you expand this section you may find an unknown device. This will be your network card. So basically, you need to know what brand and model of the network adapter is. Download the driver from the internet on another computer. Then install it on this one. The unknown device will then pass under the network connection in Device Manager.

So basically, you will need to download your ethernet card driver.

  • Windows XP does not display the available wireless connections

    I formatted my hard drive and created two partitions. Then I installed Windows XP in one of them and Vista in the other. Then only under Vista the network card works and I see all kinds of connections available. Where, in Win XP it will not display the available wireless connections. I have tried everything to try to activate my net work card but can't find a way to do it. Maybe Win XP a clean installation driver missing. Does anyone have any ideas? I have studied all the forums and that you can't find the answer.

    Thanks for all the ideas that I could research.

    Thanks, missing the driver for the Dell Wireless card. He wasn't on resettlement drive.

  • 6.2.5 ReadyNAS 104 firmware update is not displayed for ethernet network adapters > links

    I recently updated my ReadyNAS to 6.2.5 firmware 1.04 and the network > links page does not appear any ethernet cards. I recycled the box several times but still no information of the card. Because I can navigate to the page to admin (via IP address), the network works. However, it does not appear in the DNS so I would check the configuration but impossible because no card shows eth. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    I finally solve this by manually installing the 6.2.5 new update. Seemed to have solved any problem occurred during automatic update.

  • Desktop computer does not display the computers on the network after waking from sleep.

    Both computers work on Vista Home Basic. Problem started after computers, the router and a DSL modem has been turned off and unplugged. After the awakening of the day before, the Office would display only the router and the laptop, but the way that he could not establish. Initially, a reboot of the desktop computer has solved the problem.

    Reset and re-installed the router. The three elements of the network were visible after the start, but IE 8 soon at the opening of the homepage. Again, after "standby" mode, only the router and the laptop displayed.

    After additional restart, only the router is displayed. The laptop shows all three elements and accessing office files.

    Suggestions?
    Mike

    Hi Syed,

    I did a full reset/reinstall the router, carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. Both computers are displayed in each of their respective lists of network, even after waking up from sleep mode.

    This issue is resolved.

    Thank you

  • After you install Internet Explorer 9 (Beta) desktop computer does not display a date on the calendar

    Original title: after the installation of the Board explorer9 will not display calendar date

    tried to re install calendar but still no date display

    Hey flatcoat4247,

    O are you talking about the gadget?

    O also, do you mean to say the version of Internet Explorer 9 (Beta)?

    This behavior is most often observed if the XML registration is missing in the system. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

    a. close Windows Sidebar. To do this, right-click on the Sidebar icon in the Notification area, and then click exit.

    b. open an elevated command prompt window.

    To do:

    i. click on Start > all programs.

    II. click Accessories.

    III. right click on invite and then click run as administrator.

    c. in the command prompt window, type the following command and press ENTER:

    regsvr32 msxml3.dll

    Similarly, run these commands:

    regsvr32 scrrun.dll

    regsvr32 jscript.dll

    If the registration was successful, you will see the message DllRegisterServer in succeeded to for each executed command.

    d. open Windows Sidebar (sidebar.exe) and check if the problem is resolved.

    See if it works.

    Kind regards

  • my driver for the ROM of DVD TSST TS-L623D is corrupted. Computer does not display the drive. How can I fix it?

    When I'm looking in the Properties tab for the device in Device Manager I get - Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    BUT when checking for an update as I get - the best driver for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.

    I tried to uninstall and reboot, but it does not help.

    I am running Vista Business.

    Try to run Fixit:

    Hello!

    Have you disabled the firewall on the XP computer?
    Maybe a 3rd party security software is blocking it.

    Check the registry and go to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE es\lanmanserver\parameters
    In this case don't Scream no entry with the name of Hide.
    If you have such an entry, delete it.

    Good bye

  • Corrupt Windows file. "the file of the directory g:\system information\lightningsand.cfd volume" is damaged and unreadable. My computer does not display a G drive. My computer will boot even after I get this error message.

    The problem started after I installed Norton 360. I have not installed new hardware.

    I'm not biased. I'm not an advocate for the Member States. I have been involved in the MS newsgroups since 2003 and have seen what Norton (McAfee) and can do. Especially for an e-mail client.

    I saw, too, what MS has produced over the years and don't like a lot of their programs. I feel, however, that they got the right MOUSE. It is not a resource hog like Norton is a thing. (BTW. IMHO, Norton was a great AV program until Peter Norton sold the company to Symantec).

    I saw many problems corrected over the years with the removal of Norton. The most common problem people have when vendors group with their Norton software free trials. Once enabled, run that the removal tool is a must if the user wishes to use a different AV program

    Note the declaration of the OP.


    The problem started after I installed Norton 360. I have not installed new hardware.

    If you have spent a lot of time on the Norton forum and believe my advice to be bad, why not offer the OP is something that you think might be useful rather than criticizing me.

  • My computer does not display the correct names of my hard drives, but because of disk management.

    original title: Hard Drive rename BUG

    I have a problem with the change of name of the hard disk.

    Disk Management displays the names for each partition, but when I open my computer C only a specific name, the rest of the partitions are named local disk and if I try to change it by right clicking Rename or properties and change volume name, after clicking on ok nothing happens, but more funny that I go to disk management and I can see the change in the name of the partition , but Explorer keeps showing local disk, drives me crazy.

    I am running windows 7 Pro.

    Someone please provide solution.

  • my other computer has an icon in the taskbar to access the personas. This computer does not display an icon or a shortcut to access the personas. I have the latest version. Why is there no shortcut to access the characters?

    on a computer last year I updated firefox and he gave me an icon on my lower left side of the taskbar to access the personas. It was a cute little Fox. This computer that I use now not never showed an icon anywhere, or shortcuts, access to personas. I click firefox to watch. Why? I like to use.
