You probably have missing network drivers. Did this to me when i reinstalled with windows xp pro. I just went on another computer went online found the downloader for my network device and transferred it via thumb drive.

Then yeah its your network drivers. Theyre such a pain in the ass to mess with to. if its on board ethernet, you have to find your chipsets drivers and itll grab all your drivers for your motherboard. If its a separate ethernet card, you have to find the exact driver for that specific card.

Xp only takes me about 20-35 minutes to install. And with on board network adapters just look up drivers for the motherboard you have then look for your specific network driver. If you tell me some information about the motherboard and network adapter i can give you a link for a download.

Because XP is 12 years old? Also Microsoft is going to stop supporting it forever in a month or two. Just install 7, it's better in every single way.

If you're still having problems, find out what kind of NIC (Network Interface Card) you are using for network connectivity, and on a computer that has working Internet, google drivers for it. It could be possible your NIC isn't supported by XP, but I doubt it.
Windows 7 has built in drivers, and I'm almost positive that Windows XP has built in drivers that come with the installation disc. If you want to use these built in drivers, open up device manager, and expand the category named "Network Adapters", right click the appropriate adapter, select properties, and go to the Driver tab. Here you can click Update Driver. A window will pop up, select "Browse my computer for driver software" then click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" A list of Microsoft verified drivers will pop up!

I'm gonna go ahead and dl win7. The winxp was a pirated copy and I assumed it had the built in drivers. It was the latest version of black.

If it was a pirated version that is most likely your problem.
