I purchased a 2nd hand laptop (HP4200) from my company with HD formatted.
I loaded Win XP Pro using a friends disk. All loaded OK.
However I cannot connect to the internet via broadband as the RJ45 port (and probably COM 1) is inactive. No ethernet driver = no connectivity.
When I go into control panel / system / hardware / device manager I see no drivers installed for following:
* Ethernet controller
* mass Storage
* Multi Media Audio Centre
* Network controller
... etc ..

I tried to install drivers using Win XP Disk - but software not available on disk.

Can anyone help?
Where could I get required software.

Many Thanks,
Joe 90.
Dublin.
