1st timer here and looked through some posts and couldnt find anything.. I think! i bought a used gateway solo 5300 and am having trouble with connection, I use TWC's high speed roadrunner.
1st i tried to run application cd and it says "configuration error"
i tried to use internet connection wizzard and no connection is found but it still found the modem i use for my pc.
i am not using wireless just trying through ethernet

since then i think i have seen that there are no drivers for cable modem, tried the preferred driver disc that was given and still cannot locate drivers.... and i still cannot figure out what is going wrong

You don't need any modem drivers. Did you call your ISP to check your settings?

If Windows 98, or above, you can get IE6 here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.mspx

Download everything on good computer, burn it to CD, and install on bad computer.
