Hey everyone,
I'm hopin' for a little help here. My system has been running Windows 2000 since the day I made the computer, almost eight years ago. I decided it was time to obviously upgrade to another O/S and my friend gave me his XP installation discs because he was using Windows 7 now. However, when I installed XP (everything went fine) I saw I couldn't use my broadband internet anymore. I tried releasing and renewing the IP but got a "RCP Server Unavailable" message. Windows 2000 is still on the system (I can choose between the two on start-up) and the Internet works fine on it.
Also, when I use the 'connection wizard/new connection' feature in the Network Settings of XP nothing happens. I go through the process "choose connection --> broadband ---> always connected" but nothing happens, no new connection even shows up in the folder (which is weird).
What's the deal?
