Assuming you already have an account with an ISP who provides DSL, you will need a modem, a router, or a device that combines the two. Some ISPs will send you these devices in the mail; otherwise, you will need to buy them. When you have your modem and router or your combination device, either follow the instructions provided by your ISP, or follow the corresponding steps at the link below.
not sure of the site name, but i have used it and if you type in your search……free downloads….. you will probably find something there. hope this is of use..
On the computers website,just use the model number and go to support.
Look for ethernet drivers or network adapter maybe.You may want to update video and audio drivers too while your there.
I’ve reinstalled Windows XP on my machines numerous times and the sure fire way to get the Internet working straight away is to make sure your machine is connected to your Internet device while you’re installing the operating system.
Windows will automatically configure the network card and connect to Windows Update and download all of the correct drivers for you during the installation.
Good luck!
