what do mean with "cant get on the network"

do you use a HUB/SWITCH to connect?
does the lights on the networkcard come alive?

no, it's not my pc it's for a friend
so he can go on the internet, but he can't see us in our house network

we have a router

does the router provide your PC with an IP address (DHCP) ?

he can't go "on the network" meaning he cant see the other PC's?

try
start -> run

\\ip_address_of_pc_he_wants_to_connect_to

what happens then?

make a "network installation disk" with the networkwizard on an xp machine, run the disk on the w2k pc; ready is cheese

if he is using the DHCP from the router , using that disk will **** up his config on the 2K machine

start -> run

\\ip_address_of_pc_he_wants_to_connect_to

if i do this, it don't find the ip

I' ve just installed a new pc runnig win xp Pro here in the network, and after putting that Win Xp pc in the right workgroup, everything worked fine. The win xp can see my win 2000 and vice versa
