Please help.. I had to reformat a THIRD time and in the past, I had someone put the a network connection on my computer (it was not provided with installing XP) and I have NO IDEA how to add a connection. He didn't bother to show me how it was done. I am connected through a shared cable modem that is connected to the main computer (what I am on now) The wizard, does nothing for me, at all. Mainly because I do not know what to do. Everything is securely connected. Can someone provide step by step instructions to re-setting up a cable modem network to my computer?

what kind of nic card dod you have either built in or pci slot whateverone you have you need latest driver and should go to create new network connection and pick home with modem based settings it will tell you what each setting will emplore the os to use after that you need to make sure in the nic card settings dins is auto and wins is auto and net bios over tp is enabled so os will pick ip address auto matically and hit apply
