    Well, I did a clean install of windows xp pro, but now I can't connect to my internet connection. Right now I have a cat5 cable connected from my laptop to my router, which is linked to a constant internet connection (DSL). On the RJ-45 jack on my laptop, the green light is lit, as well as the port light on my router. I tried installing drivers for my wireless card by downloading the drivers and installing them. When I tried installing the drivers all it did was create a folder called C:\DRIVERS and put it in there. Can someone help me get on the internet :(.

    UPDATE: I fixed the problem. Please delete thread.
