my aunt gave us a Sony Vaio Pc pcv-j150, its ME edition 10GB, 312 MB RAM

Everything works fine altough kinda slow but here's the problem..
I tried to put the dsl there so it has internet then later on put router so this pc(windows 2000) and a laptop could use the internet.

I tried putting it there but there's still no intrernet, i called my isp [at&t]
in conclusion the tech support said it doesn't have local area connection.

I know that it can connect to internet.
I don't know what to do.

Hi ME is the worst version of windows ever released if you can install windows XP the Sony is good enought to run it. It's just ME has so many problem it's not funny.

Ok, ill try to install xp on it

wait, are the drivers for the internet adaptor installed?

yes, why?
i thinks its the realtek one and should i format it?

We decided to buy a wireless card for it and just get wireless connection through this desktop[im using it right now] and if it doesn't work we'll just reformat it and install XP.

That's all for now. Please close this.

Alright, just keep in mind to purchase a legal copy of XP for it, and you may need to upgrade the RAM to run smoothly in XP. 512MB, your PC's maximum, is recommended. That, means to buy 2 of these:

Newegg.com - Kingston 256MB 168-Pin SDRAM PC 133 Desktop Memory - Retail

XP will work without it, but it will make a huge difference if you replace your current RAM with 2 of those...
