    any exclamation marks in device manager? what is the error that comes up when trying the net? are you using a router?

    May I also suggest moving to at least Windows98se or Windows ME which would help you will most Plug and Play devices. Best would be Windows XP for most users that need help with PnP devices.

    Too small a HDD to really upgrade to newer OS and have it be really functional, XP I mean.
