Internet, and Network Question Closed

Question

Hello, 
I have got a compute that had to be wiped clean and Windows XP reinstalled on it. I am trying to get this computer to connect to the internet. I have a cable modem connected to a wireless router, which work ( I have two laptops and both work fine), I plug the tower into the back of the router and the light works, plug the other into the tower the light works there as well. Now the problem, this computer seems not to have any LAN, LPT or COM ports or any kind of Drivers on it, the only disc I have is a Windosws XP disc, under network connetion there are no icons. Under the device Manager there are not icon for any ports or network adarters either. Any ideas on how to get this computer rolling on the internet... Thanks

Hello, 

After installation of windows xp you are suppose to install the drivers. 

Go to your manufacture's website and download the drivers. 

Or 

Let us know your PC brand name and model number. 

Good Luck.
