Windows XP doesnt detect internet!!!

9 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/windows-xp-doesnt-detect-internet.158719/

Hello guys I am facing a strange problem.
I reinstalled Win Xp today,all went fine.
I reinstalled all the drivers.After installing the ethernet drivers it detected my internet connection through the LAN cable(I am using a Wireless router with the cable connected to the PC).It show the Local Area Connection as Connected in Network Connections.
But still I am unable to access the internet i.e browsers,softwares requiring internet cant detect that its on
Surprising fact is that when I booted into Mini XP using Hirens Boot CD,there the connection runs fine...
Also I can acces my router's config page.(from my XP installation).

Before starting this thread I have tried all the possible solutions i cud find i.e restting IP,winsock protocol,repairing the connection,using some utilities in the HBCD but none of them seem to work.

Please help guys...

XP SP3 or SP2?

Win Xp SP3

Do you have some driver CD which came with the router? Try installing that.

I installd d drivrs which cam wid d mothrbrd cd itself.

Can you put up a screenshot of the devices, from device manager.

Will do so if the problem persists,hope so it doesnt....

Have you configured IP address?

Yes I did,as I am using a router I kept the setting to Obtain ip address automatically,nd this workd bfore nd evn wrks on my laptop.
