The place to find your driver was here:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
I am afraid you have downloaded and installed a virus.

Hello Gilhow,
Well you are a genius of your own. Congratulations.
Out of curiosity, how long will you continue to hang on to XP which is no longer supported?
Thanks for the feed back.

Hi Ambucias, Well, not a genius, but it worked half way.....for some reason, when I reinstalled from the same XP sp3 disk for the second partition, it installed the XP sp2 disk info, AGAIN! Same problems, as with the original partition......could install the Atheros network adapter, then accessed I.E., but again, could not browse to any other site.....there are no viruses......I never wanted to keep XP, and in fact only wanted to reformat my HH on this older laptop to give or throw away.....then started playing around with it.....guess what, I installed my Windows 7 disk, which I had tried, earlier, without it working.....this time I booted from the Win 7 disk, and it worked like a charm.....so now, if I find and fix my screen (17") bezel, perhaps I'll have a fairly decent "old" laptop. Yes, XP is OK, "if" you don't have to reinstall it, since it's almost impossible to find drivers without it being supported, anymore; of course if you're lucky enough to have those driver installation disks, yourself, count yourself lucky! BTW, all the drivers were included with the Windows 7 install.....so now, I have 2 good partitions, XP sp3 and Win 7 working perfectly!!!
