I recently had the beta version of 7 and i ran out of it, so i decided to go back to xp, so after i got it, i downloaded it, and downloaded all the drivers i needed, and after checking it, it won't let me connect to the internet, and i checked the device manager, and then it says ethernet controller, and i havve no idea what to do. Any help?

    Have you installed the correct network adapter drivers?
    Do you know which networking chipset you have?

    Have you tried connecting any other computers to the ethernet cable you're trying to use? Do those machines get internet access?
