I have comcast high speed internet, and I’m using a ethernet cord. I’m a Linux person, but I’ve been needing to get windows XP working, so I have this computer with XP on it, fresh install, I need to find out how to get the internet working on it. I’ve been staring at the New Connection Wizard for 30 minutes now, fiddling with everything, how do I get this to work?

Comcast Internet, Ethernet cord going to a Router, router to the modem. Why can’t I get a wired connection?
