LAN not showing in "Nework connections"
Last response: in Windows XP
I recently reformatted a computer I got from a friend, and re-installed windows XP Home edition. Before I reformatted I had already been online with this computer using my Internet connection, so I know it works, and I know the computer has all of the correct hardware.
I use CoX Cable as my ISP, via an ethernet port. On most computers I just plug the ethernet cable in (sometimes requiring a modem reboot) and I can browse the internet no problem. But Now, It doesn't even recognize my internet. I tried going to network connections, and the Icon for "LAN" does not even show up, and I do not know how to create it. Every guide I've found online inevitably mentions going into network connections and modifying the properties of the "LAN" connection.
Is it a problem with my drivers? I have not manually installed any drivers after the reformat, but I was under the impression Win XP pretty much has nearly all of the core drivers I would ever need.
Can somebody provide anything that will help me in this?
Thank you very much in advance, have a nice day.

Yeah, your MB manual would have instructions describing the settings of the BIOS. The MB or system online product page would have a download for the manual. The LAN setting in BIOS would be a sub setting in BIOS, not a stand alone option. This is surely the problem if your MB LAN device is not present in Device Manager.
