i dont know why. its a hp pavilion desktop

what do i do. i downloaded the drivers from t he hp site but when i install them i get a message saying they are in some folder, but how does help me

also i downloaded the chipset drivers but what is the entry in device manager which allows me to update the chipset driver

the network icon SHOWS 'connected' and the two monitors in the icon blink, but i cant get to any web page. Says 'Internet EXPLORER cannot DISPLAY the webpage'

Did you just install windows?Try assigning it a static IP with your router/switch. Also make sure there isn't a computer naming conflict. Check the port it's plugged into. Try plugging in another device using the same cable/port.You can ignore the above posts. You need to go to the folders to which you downloaded the drivers (chipset driver first). Then double-click on the setup.exe file to install the drivers. You do NOT go into device manager to install the drivers. After you install all of the drivers, reboot.JJ: No I didnt just install windows, I was considering it but then I decided not to reinstall.

I have three laptops that connect WIRELESSLY to the router. I have this one laptop that I tried to connect wirelessly too, but it just wouldnt connect. So now Im trying a wired connection. All the computers are setup on DHCP so I dont know why I should have to set this one to a static IP.

But the network connection icon in the status bar now shows connected, and the two monitor of the icon are blinking, but there is still no internet connection. The status also shows download speeds of 3M and upload of 2M.
It connected to the internet suddenly, I didnt make any changes, but its working now

dont know w hat happened, but its all good
Now the router/modem went down. It is just illiminating a power led and a wireless led, but none of the networked computers can access the wireless network anymore. I spoke to att to see what was going on and they did some troubleshooting steps and concluded that the router/modem was bad. it is a 2wire router/model and why it went down all of a SUDDEN is a mystery.

Anyway, I went out and got a router, a cisco branded linksys one. I guess it didnt have a modem integrated into it, so I took out a modem I had, its motorola. I hooked everything up, but for some reason when I run the setup program that came with the router, it doesnt detect the internet connection, and it stalls. So how do I get the internet up and running. I have DSL by the way.
