re: Modem/Router working fine. XP won't recognise them Tuesday, August 19, 2008 at 4:44 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by George Cowley (143 messages posted) I am at my sister-in-law's right now. It's an HP Pavilion A642N. I installed the network drivers several times over and the network connection icon is resolutely disabled. I know the cable is good - it works on my laptop. There's a red X on the connection icon and it says that a cable is unplugged. Looks to me as though it might be a duff connector on the PC but I'm not certain. I know the modem and router are good - I'm using them now to post this. XP claims the onboard ethernet is an NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller and shows connections for this and for a 1394 connection. I ran the lspfix and eliminated some junk. The thing now reports back as mswsock.dll, winrnr.dll and rsvpsp.dll - as on just about every other XP box we as a family own. We have tried a USB cable direct to the modem with no joy either.
