XP reinstall -- no more internet

[airgar]

I just reinstalled XP on my HP a1600n and it no longer has an internet connection. What should I do?

Did you install the drivers, like those for the ethernet and wifi?

Ok I fixed the network driver and it works --- One thing I just realized is it isn't able to connect to Windows Updates (I get an error) which may be a big part of the problem.... and also that the HP is a 64 bit and the older Win XP version (may not be the one that came on the PC) doesn't say 64 bit in the system description. Any thoughts about that?

 

[cl-scott]

None of that matters... The 32 vs 64-bit part anyway.

I'm trying a different way to get to updates -- hopefully it works....the 32 bit will make my system run slower though, right?
