G60 213EM Downgraded from vista to xp

[akt]

Hi, can anyone help me solve my problem. I recently bought an HP G60 213EM laptop running on windows vista, but downgraded to windows XP. Since then I can not connect to the internet using ethernet port. How do I configure my laptop to make it work or am I missing drivers?

Please help me.

Thanks,

Realtek driver seem to have recognise the ethernet port at last but the message coming out is limited or no connectivity. (problem occured because the network did not assign a network address to the p.c. I think if I get over this problem, will be able to connect to the internet.

Go to Control panel -> Network connections

Click with right button of Your mouse on ethernet card and choose TCP/IP. Use there all settings as automatic.

If this will not work then click on Start and choose there Run. Write there command cmd and press enter.

Console will show up.

Write there command:

ipconfig /renew 

if this will not work try also this:

ipconfig /flushdns
