    Hey Guys,
    I have an acer laptop which i just removed vista and put xp as my os. Now when i try to plug in to my cable modem at home i cannot connect to the internet. Can someone help? I am able to connect wirelessly from elsewhere, but not on my modem at home. Do I have to download some more drivers or am i just missing something. Do i have change or add any settings. Step by step would help..hehe thanks in advance.
