According to the windows xp walkthrough, the reinstallation cd was all-inclusive. Is there a way to download the appropriate driver? Do I need to know any specifics on my hardware? I didn't see any other disks that came with the computer when I received it 3 years ago. Thanks.

You need to go to the laptops manufacturer website and download the driver for your specific model. What model of laptop do you have?

Cable Modem Drivers are not included in the OEM Restore Media. Contact your ISP support. It would help if you'd post SOME useable info.

LOL Seriously, have you looked in device manager? Go into device manager (Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager) and look at Network Adapters. If there is a yellow exclamation point or some other abnormal indication there, double-click it and see what is wrong. If it is a driver issue you might be able fix the driver there by getting / updating the driver from your O/S installation source.
