The problem is that when I set up my talk talk connect and go to my router via the rj45 ethernet on my desktop pc it comes up failed, network card incorrectly configured. I discovered that LAN 1 icon is missing in my network connections folder.(my notebook does have the LAN 1 icon and that was successful) I have LAN2 bluetooth and 1394 firewire icon but no other. I have tried to sort out the issue with talk talk but they are so busy. I'm sure this can be resolved easily and I've tried downloading a LAN driver from my motherboard manufacturer, tried installing a pci ethernet adapter which conflicted with my pc. I went to microsoft website and that was too techy - involving registry changes, etc. I'm not a boffin but i'm sure i'm not a total thicko!
Anybods got any ideas?
my pc credentials are:
date of manufacture 26/9/2002
legend 201 pc
2.5 ghz 512 mb
columbia m'board
windows xp pro-originally it had xp home, and millennium installed before now

I think ethernet is for LAN cable connection, not wireless.
You would need a wireless adapter on your PC also.
Previous operating systems should have no bearing.

Is the network card listed in device manager? If not you will need to make sure you have the right drivers.
If it is listed, is it disabled?
