So I know wired networks are out but I'm at school and I have no choice. Wireless is not availible in my dorm. I have an xps m1530 with vista/xp dual boot and a wired connection works fine on vista but my xp wont recognize it. In Vista, the computer automatically connects (via and ethernet port in my room-sorry I don't have any details regarding the network) but how would I go about fixing this problem and setting up such a network on XP? Thanks!

Once you booted with XP, do an ipconfig/all and post it.
-
Have you ever used a wired network on the XP partition before? Check the device manager to make sure it's functioning properly & appropriate drivers are installed.
-
Let me guess...you installed xp yourself? And you didnt install all of the drivers? Check your device manager for any "!" or "?" next to devices. Post a screen shot if you could of your device manager.

you guys were right. I was stupid and did not install all of the drivers. Problem solved. Thanks and sorry about that.
