    I suggest www.desktopreview.com for desktop questions.

    But anyway, sounds like he needs to install drivers.

    If you have a DRiver disk from HP, use it. Is not go to device manager, and look for a network (ethernet) card. It will probably have an alert for it. See the product # and google drivers for it or post on here.
