Hi guys, I'm currently tearing my hair out with this one!
Just reinstalled my in-laws PC (fresh XP install) and trying to get the ethernet up and running to no avail.
Using XP SP2 on an intel 845 chipset, Virgin cable box (works fine as i've got it plugged into my work laptop to post this) Firewall disabled.
I've got the drivers I need, they install ok, all tests ok but when plugging in the cable it just wont find an IP address and a repair does not good. I've tried the winsock repair apps as I know the connection is good but the machine just wont connect. I have tried taking the IP from the good machine & manually editing the settings including DNS server details but it can't seem to find the DNS server.
The disc is an n-lited version of XP, I don't know what was removed but I cant see how that would effect things especially as I've got the right drivers & tried the winsock route.
I'm stumped...
HELP!!!

Asking around at work for a proper disc but its looking doubtful.
