Cable Forum - View Single Post - Cannot connect the Internet after fresh XP install (Drivers are installed)

Hi as the title suggests I am having problems with an old PC im planning to sell, in that it will not connect to the internet via the onboard LAN (Realtek RTL8110 Gigabit Ethernet). I reinstalled XP on it, installed the network card driver plugged the the cable in and it fails to acquire and IP address from the router stating limited or no connectivity. I can assign a static IP, but it will still not connect to the net, it sends packets but does not recieve any, I have tried a different network card and ethernet cable but no avail. I connect the router via homeplugs.

Any ideas?

TIA
