Re-installing windows XP (No ethernet drivers)

So I've been through many other positions and even tried a few downloads and none of them worked. I guess it's because my PC is a different version. I have a HP Compaq dc5100mt. I had to re-install XP Pro SP2 and after reinstall I have save product key, so I plugged in an ethernet cable and the light comes on but I went in networking and has no internet connection. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

You must download and install * all * the drivers of your computer. They can be found here:

Choose Windows XP Home or Pro and download all the drivers. Burn it to a CD/DVD, or copy them to a USB key.  Transfer to computer XP (HP Compaq dc5100mt) and install. When you're ready, reboot/restart.

Finally, network should work fine and you may need to configure your network settings based on your ISP or your network administrator.

Several notes - Windows XP is very old operating system which is is more officially supported which means no official support, not more of updates and fixes for XP. We recommend that you buy a new computer and upgrade to the new OS.

If you choose to stay with Windows XP, make sure that you:

-upgrade to Service Pack 3 (XP SP2 is since 2004, SP3 is since 2008)

-install all the updates of Microsoft and Windows for your computer to start-> Windows updates or http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

s ' ensure you're well protected with the program of good antivirus/antimalware, firewall, etc. such as Norton Internet Security or Kaspersky Internet Security, etc...
