Hello, I know this topic is a bit on the old side, but a simple google lead me to it. Since the topic maker did not get it resolved I figured I would ask the same thing.
I have an HP Pavilion dv9740us Notebook. It originally came with Vista home edition. I went and formated the drive with Vista on it and put Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2 on it. The format and install looked good the three times I have done it. I get no internet connectivity and yes I have went and gotten all the Drivers on the HP website.
First the cmd prompt.

WAN Miniport (PPPOE)

Still guessing it is I am missing a driver. Maybe due to the fact that the do not have Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection because the computer came with Vista, but since I do not want to use Vista and would have to wait about a month to get it anyways, would love to figure how to make it work.
Thanks in advance.
