I'm dealing with a serious problem, You see I recently bought a new laptop : eMachines 510 serious. It had windows vista Home basic on it. Since I did not wanted vista I downgraded my laptop to xp again. Now, I placed a router to also connect my laptop to the internet. But whenever it's connecting it says limited or no connectivity. While I can go online when I connect my other another pc with the same LAN cable. Does anyone have an idea on this? Here is the data i got from ipconfig/all: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
