Go to system under Control Panel, and Hardware. Click the audio and ethernet cards and download drivers.

If the computer is new, it probably has a "Chip Set" and these drivers have to be loaded "first" before it can operate completely and proper. If you have a drivers disk with the chip set drivers on it, load that set of drivers first then continue. If no disks, go to the motherboard manufacturers web site and see if you can get them there.

Smack is right, good suggestion. I would add to go in to device manager and see if XP sees it, and it is not working.
Delete the drivers, reboot and see if XP finds them.
( Sometime xp might stand for Extra Problems, but it is a good OS)

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
