I got this old laptop (acer aspire 3680) came with windows xp MCE. It was missing files and in rough shape so I gave it a format and used it as a linux machine to play around with.
Ive got a new laptop (compaq athlon x2 and 4gb ddr3) so I put a fresh install of xp on the acer for the GF to use and Im missing a bunch of drivers now and the lan &wlan dont work.
Ive gone to acers website and downloaded a couple drivers suggested and managed to find one that rises my wlan device. Everything I can find reports back that the device is working properly, its just stuck on 'aquiring network address"
I have a wireless router installed at home and my new laptop is running off of it just fine.
Ive reached the extent of my knowledge and am stuck, are there any suggestions to help me resolve this issue?
thanks
