The fact that you have driver issues will have everything to do with the problem!

Please supply the following info.

The name of your ISP and country of residence.
Make/model of the broadband modem. If dial-up, please specify.
Make/model of the router (if any).
Connection type, wired, wireless.
Make/model of network card or wireless adapter.
Make/model of your computer (motherboard if home-built).
Version and patch level of Windows, i.e. XP-Home SP2.

ok after many failed attempts i finally got rid of all the yellow qeustion marks

now how do i connect it to the internet

[johnwill]

First off, please supply the information I asked for. Clearly, the make/model of the modem and router shouldn't be an issue, and it's potentially important to solveing any issue.

Also, there is no earthly reason to be running XP with no patches, I suggest you bring the sytem up to date.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

By "i finally got rid of the yellow question marks", can you clarify that you meant that you have installed all the necessary drivers?
