Hey guys I just GOT a new computer and I had to reinstall windows xp pro now I’m installing all the new drivers but I can't seem to get the computer on to the internet I keep getting some error like "unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out." I have no router I got a Rj45 going start into my comp from my modem, I did the Ipconfig /release /renew and that error came up, also I just downloaded the drivers from the MSI website for my MSI K9vGM-V mobo and I got a big rar file with lots of SMALL files and idea to how I got about installing this hoepfully this might resolve some PROBLEMS any advice would be greatly appreciated.What internet connection do you have?
What OS are you using?Hey I'm using windows xp pro and am currently connecting to Cox Communications High speed, any ideas on how i can install the drivers THERES a lot of files in this rar file?Without any details on the contents of the RAR file at this point it would be sheer guesswork.

Are you sure that file is from MSI ? ?

I wasn't aware they used RAR compression for drivers...Did you use the Cox CD to configure things? As you have no router where would your DHCP server be? More info needed.
