I just installed Windows XP onto my Vista laptop using the guide on this site (many thanks!). I tried setting up an internet connection with Network Setup Wizard, but it doesn't work. I don't know how else to describe it; I setup my network in Wizard, restart my laptop, and my internet connection doesn't connect. I have a wired and a wireless connection, but my laptop only detects the wireless. Even if I have my laptop plugged into a wired connection, it doesn't detect the wired connection at all. And even though it detects my wireless network, it cannot connect to the internet with wireless (even after network setup wizard). It certainly is odd.

So I right clicked my 1934 Net Adapter and clicked repair, but I got this "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Failed to query TCP/IP settings of the connection. Cannot Proceed." I thought that was strange, so I went into cmd prompt and typed "ipconfig". The only thing I got was:

Windows IP Configuration

That's all there was, there wasn't an IP or anything. Is it possible to not have an IP? Is that why my internet is working? Also, my internet works just fine when I'm on my Vista operating system; it doesn't work when I'm on Windows XP operating system.

Laptop: HP Pavillion dv2000, ver. 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
router: Linksys
Network: 1934 Connection Adapter

Any help would be greatly appreciated

anoname, I think that your "1934" network adapter is a 1394 port, or firewire connector. This is NOT the port that you want to use for wired networking. Your wired connection should use the ethernet port and will show up in Windows as "Local Area Connection". If you have the "1394 Connection", you should disable it so the system won't be confused looking for network access on the 1394 port.

anoname,

The reason I put up the Link to the dv2000 CTO Machine Drivers is because I figured you may not have installed (all) the correct applicable drivers to your particular machine SKU.
The series is HP dv2000.
Please post the (EXACT) Model Number of your machine.
Kindest Regards,

raphoenix, sorry, I was a little confused by your first post. I'm not quite sure what my exact model number is, so I'll just post what I see.

There's something else that reads "dv2310us"
Also, there appears to be 5 different network drivers on the site you gave me, but I only have one: the 1394 Net Adapter.

ScottW, the only Network Adapter that is listed is the 1394 Net Adapter. There's also like 10 different "?" icons listed under "Other devices". The little icons look like a "?" with a small "!" in front of them. I think each "?" represents a driver.

anoname,

(LOL) I figured my first reply with just a link and no comment would get your attention and that my second post would get you thinking. As ScottW said, my second post was to get your model SKU.
DO exactly as ScottW advised.
Post Back as to results after you completely install (ALL) Machine Drivers.
Here is your Service Manual.

anoname,
Have you tried the LAN Port ????
----------------------------------------
I think the machine uses the Intel PRO Network Adapter Driver (BUT AM NOT SURE).
PLEASE CALL HP Support Monday to VERIFY !!!!!!!!!!
The Driver can be found on the dv2000 CTO page (IF) this Driver is correct for your machine.

I do (NOT) want you to install the wrong driver on (my guess).
