You need to install a network card and the xp drivers to support it. If your NIC isn't showing up in network connections, then your NIC is NOT installed properly.

If you are using a LAN based internet Connection, then there is definately there is a problem with connection, ask your network operator for a solution.

Try downloading Iternet Explorer again. And if you want to go to my Computer goto start menu My computer or click on my computer icon on desktop.

Go to my documents, click the sharing tab and mark Make this folder private.  Most Local Area Networks (LAN) can be accessed via the "My Network Places " Folder , check that out and try to see if your files are there.

I think what you are trying to say is that if your wireless connection to your access point (AP) becomes disconnected and then you try to reconnect, the workstation does not pick up a new IP address.\n\nIf that is the case, then you should repair your connection.  In Windows XP Service Pack 2, all you have to do is right-click on the wireless connection in the system tray (by the clock) and click "Repair".  It will force Windows to acquire an IP address.

You Should go to Your Network Neighbourhood Icon on desktop\n\n  after right clicking it click on property \n  and then on the Lan icon right click > property\n\n  you will find TCP/IP there just highlight it and them click on PROPERTY\n\n  and give any IP address you like or just choose "Obtain IP address automatically"\n\n   and then restart your system .\n\n   this will solve your problem\n\n       good luck

What version of windows are you using? Do you know if you have Windows Service Pack 2? If not, that is probably what's wrong - download the latest Windows Updates from the Windows Update website (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/)\n\nDo you know if your computer is set to automatically connect? To check, do the following:\n\n1) Go to Start menu ---> Settings ---> Network connections (Or alternatively, Control Panel ---> Network connections)\n\n2) Right click on the connection that is connecting to the router, and select 'properties'. You should see a list of protocols - like, TCP/IP and Windows File and Printer Sharing.\n\nClick the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selection, and hit 'Properties'.\n\n3) You SHOULD see that 'Obtain an IP adress Automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server addresses automatically' are both selected. If not, select them, and press ok.\n\n4) Once this is done, try unplugging/reconnecting your wireless card, if you can.\n\nIf none of this works, there could be a number of reasons:\n\nYour computer is too far away from the receiver.\nYou need to update your Windows to the latest version.\nIf you are using a router, the router may be encrypted.\nYour network card could be faulty.\n\nI'd suggest finding someone that knows about computers and networking that lives nearby to come and help you with it all. You can only explain so much on the Internet!

sure, why not.. I always have ideas :) go to Control Panel, Network Connections, then do properties of your wireless connection(or whatever connection you are planning to use). and make sure that 'show icon in notification area when connected' is checked..if it's check but the icon is not showing then uncheck it and click OK, then go back and check it..then it should display it...

if your ALREADY on a lan connection (and workgroup), click start, type run, then type net view \n\nThen go into internet or windows explorer and type &#92;&#92;computerName

Have patience, run Network Configuration Wizard, restart the computer. MAKE SURE YOU SET THE SAME WORKGROUP NAME FOR BOTH STATIONS!! Otherwise it will take Windows forever to change recognize it after you have changed it. But just have patience, once Windows XP came along networking got just a little bit harder to get started as opposed to WIN98.

If those two computers are XP, then the IP addresses, DNS servers and internet options are all automatically configured. If they are using 98, then the settings are just manually configured. You should edit the IP manually. For example, if one IP is 193.8.0.1 then the other one should be 193.8.0.2. The 193 should be the number of the LAN router of your two PCs. If you use other numbers than what your network says, then the internet will not be accesible, or your LAN games may not work properly.

if it is saying the network cable is unplugged the u r looking at the lan connection and not the wireless network connection\ni think u r using a router and u can refer the instructions given in the router manual

Got to the connection tab in your Internet Explorer properties.  Use the connection wizard in there to set up for a connection that is always on...best to use the manual set up in the wizard.\n\nBe sure you have your ethernet cards drivers installed and the device manager shows the NIC card in the hardware profile before you run the wizard.

I assume this is for a different PC. The one you asked the question on must have an IP address as you are on the internet.\n\nThe IP address is allocated automatically by your internet provider or the network (if you are on a network). Your PC has to be correctly configured to use an IP address. If you look at Network connections in the control panel you should see at least one item that is capable of connecting to the internet/network. Right click on the item and select properties. In the box that appears you should have an entry that states 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' If you do not have this then reinstall your internet software.\n\nIf the Network connections box is blank then check the Device Manager and check that the Network/Modem devices are enabled and working.\n\nThere are also a number of viruses and spyware processes that can disable your IP address.

check if your local area network is connected to the internet in the connectiviy in your start menu in the system.. there is no server coz it needs a host in able to connect to the internet without t, all the display is not found and internet is impossible.
