No internet connection in HP Pavilion dv2000

It runs on Windows Vista 32-bit, and the internet and the home-network don’t work with it.
What problem can it be? Some drivers missing maybe?
Thanks in advance.
Answer #1
Is it wired or wifi, if it’s wifi Have your turned off the wifi as most new laptops fitted with a small switch to turn wifi on and off. If also wifi try it hard wired befor you mess with the drivers.
Or pick your modle off this list for drivers .

Answer #2
I need a cable connection, I don’t have a wifi (and strangely it doesn’t seem that their site’s driver requirements have any un-wifi named).
Answer #3
Ok try turning of the modem and router if you have one and the laptop. Then power up the modem and let it run for 2 min’s befor you start the router or laptop. If you have a router let that power up for 2 mins befor you start the laptop.

I think that it might be some problem with the Vista installed in it.
I hate this operating system anyway so I’m currently trying to install XP instead.
