    My high-speed connection is not working on one of computer installations. My setup is a little unusual. I have a dual boot system with my old windows XP installation on one HDD and my new XP installation on a new SSD. I did a clean reinstall the day before yesterday and I had the internet connection on both systems at one time. Now no internet on the new system.

    Following Windows Help I open network connections and click on "new connection ", which starts the new connection wizard, and after 4 or 5 more clicks I reach "connect using a broadband connection that is always on ". "Next" takes me to a screen that says "Your broadband connection should already be configured and ready to use. If your connection is not working properly click 'learn about broadband connections' ".

    Which says I should:

    Open Network Connections.
    Under LAN or High-Speed Internet, click the connection that you want to repair, and then, under Network Tasks, click Repair this connection.

    But there is no such connection. My network connections window has none of the items mentioned (I found "New connection" on the file menu) I would attach a screen shot, but it is an .rtf..

    Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong?

    Later: I realised how I could make a jpg - attached.

    Yes. But thanks for the suggestion. It got me thinking along the right lines.

    When I went into the new system to verify that the card was working OK I found that the installation was badly fouled up - eg., no device manager.

    So I did another full install. After which my internet connection works fine.

    So now I will make all of the changes I made before and check to see which one fouls things up.
