I just re-enstalled windows xp home edition on an Inspirion 1150 and for one reason or another i cant connect to the internet to download the new dirvers. I have tried just hooking the laptop up to my router via cat-5 and installing the software for a belkin expansion card and i cant connect to the internet. I have tried start run cmd, ipconfig ./renew. But i cant connect even to wireless. Am i missing something. Any help would be great....
