| Hi can anybody help please. I am trying to set up my sons computer on a wired network. I have connected it up via the lan port but it doesn't seem to see anything. I have checked the cable and that works fine on my laptop. Looking at the control panel/ network connections panel, there is nothing there. I have tried running the wizard but that does recognise anything either. Any ideas please  |

| I would if I could. I deleted the non working network icon that was in the 'network connections' box and now there is nothing in that box. I have enabled the LAN tab in windows firewall but that hasn't worked either. The LAN port has a slow flashing light and is on the motherboard itself. I was wondering if it was worth buying a PCI nwetork card in case there is aproblem with the port!! |

| Could well be a problem with the port, pci cards are cheap enough so you won't be losing much just finding out

| If the Ethernet port is on the motherboard, it may be faulty or require drivers. If it is on a expansion card, that card will need a reinstallation of drivers. This is probably the problem.

| Definitely time to reinstall windows I think! Do you have an XP CD? Select the install but repair existing installation option. (Not repair console)

| I have tried to reinstall that bit form my xp disc but no joy. I think will reisntall the whole of xp but will that destroy any existing other programmes? I also tried to follow microsofts insructions for reisntalling the missing network icon but that didnt work either. I have looked at device manager and there is no network stuff there either. So I think its a reistall, I'll let you know |

| It will not remove any existing programs. At some stage it will ask if you want to repair an existing installation. (Not the Repair Console.)
