Alright, so the scoop is that my other computer that this is all taking place on is an HP Pavilion Slimline s3700f PC desktop, which came with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. This was running fine and able to connect to web directly wired through etherne(SBC DSL) t and play games and sounds and all. I reformatted the hard drive with Windows XP Home Edition SP1 and now it has a number of drivers missing and cannot detect a connection at all and I didn't unplug anything or move any cables or hardware around either, yet three other computers in the premises are doing just fine picking up a wireless connection(hence how I'm able to post right now). I updated it to XP SP3, but that didn't seem to do anything in terms of fixing. The drivers on the HP website for the Slimline s3700f don't seem to work for XP and only apply to Vista. So I'm wondering if there is any way at all to remedy this seeing as I have no CD for anything... or am I just SOL?
