Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - No internet/network connection after installing Windows XP

I recently got myself a laptop/notebook (Acer Aspire 3693WLMi) with Windows Vista Basic installed on it. I wanted to install Windows XP on it, and so I did. But after the installation I noticed that I didn't have an internet or network connection anymore. My whole network adapter was lost and couldn't be found.
I re-installed Windows Vista to see if the same problem would happen there. But it didn't. My network adapter was there and my internet worked. Then I tried again it with Windows XP, but my connection was again gone.
From my brother's PC, I went to look for information on how to fix this problem. I tried downloading drivers, searching for new hardware, but nothing (I tried) worked.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

By the way, I got a wired network, type Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller.
