I wanted to connect my 2nd computer to the internet.

it says no network card detected.
but i plugged in the ethernet & cordless mouse (which works fine).

have you thought about using a router?

I'm using netgear 5 port hub which connects to a router.
I used same set up w/ PS3 with no problems.
i just re-installed winXP workgroup pro & stil cant connect online

does the computer have a IP?

 

[slimey]

Theres no IP address.
Windows cudnt detect any wired network card on your machine.
