Recently, my hard drive crashed. We bought a new one, I successfully installed it and reinstalled the operating system, but now for some reason I can't connect to the internet. Before I'd be able to use the wifi up at my room. But now, when I connect the modem cable, it doesn't do anything. There is no "local area connection" or anything, only the default msn connection. I'm using windows XP, and I've tried using the "create a new connection" thing but nothing seems to be working. The modem I'm using is a 2wire from at&t. I tried putting in the OS disk again to maybe try and install any missing drivers, but it said everything was up to date. Does anyone have any suggestions? It's worked before on my old hard drive.. I'm quite at loss on what to do. I've been playing with creating new connections and networks but I've had no luck. Laptop I'm using is an IBM thinkpad.
