I just built a new computer. I installed XP Pro, everything boots up, and seem to work, except I can't connect to the net. The light on my ethernet port and router are both on, but there are no packets sent or received, and I can't repair my connection. Help! I have an ASUS M2N-sli deluxe motherboard and I'm using the on board ethernet port.

I can 'enable' my connection, but when I try to repair it, it says "Failed to query TCP/IP settings of the connection. Cannot proceed." DHCP on my router is on. I'm using the on-board LAN port.

Did you install the latest (stable) nForce drivers from nVIDIA?

goto run, type cmd and hit enter. Type ipconfig /all and post back the results.

Have you tried using the network wizard? Have you unplugged the power from the modem and the router then plug the modem in, wait 10 seconds then power up the router?
