no network T30 T30 2366 fbu [ Edited ]

[PZipp]

I clean installed XP Pro for my mothers t30 2366 FBU think pad, and I cannot get network to work.

I installed drivers for  intel pro 100 ve.

I shows that as good but shows no network controller (?), (I guess that one is the wireless, not installed?) nor vga driver.

Also it wont let me install radeon driver.

All it ever shows is "limited or no conectivity", and will not work.

I have to get this thing on the internet.

Please help.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Did you go to C:\Drivers.... to run the actual drivers after extracting them? the package you downloaded only extracts the file to C:\Drivers.... from where the driver need to be run in order to successfully install device driver.

Hope it helps.

Hello,

 Yes all drivers run from a folder(s) I extracted them into and moved to T30 w/ memstick.

I found and installed proper wireless drivers, dotnet 3.5 sp1, and and installed video drivers also.

No more yellow question marks.

All appears OK, except no internet conectivity.

"limited or slow connection.....", but I get zip.

Link lights are on.

I am using the ethernet cable straight out of my broadband modem.

It works fine in the computer I'm now using.

Help please.

In that case I suggest updating your Windows to SP3, it will likely fix the issue.

Keep us posted.
