BIG internet connectivity problem after reinstalling XP

[Lysander]

So basically I had to reinstall XP tonight, big pain. However, now I can't get on the internet at all. The PC connected wirelessly to the router is fine [how I'm connecting now] but my main PC isn't. Telewest also couldn't help! There are no IP settings... it just says 'unavailable' under IP addess, subnet mask etc. Can anyone help?? I'm at a bit of a loss seeing as my own ISP can't help either!!!

There are no IP settings.. where are there no ip setings?

OK, panic over, I sorted it out. Basically I hadn't installed the motherboard software since the reinstall. I installed it and it all worked. Still, I'll know for next time.
