845847 2010-01-06 08:12:00 Speedy and others, Thanks very much for the help and suggestions, you have provided great support and understanding. And thanks for the teamviewer offer Speedy. I really do appreciate it. I think it is about time to use the XP Pro upgrade CDs that I have been 'Gunner' install for a long time. I did think of repair install of 2K but it seems that it can't be done with the original CDs. Again, my thanks to all you've been just great.

Cheers. Bluenose.

845848 2010-01-06 08:31:00 I would seriously check out WinsockFix. Agent_24 (57)
845849 2010-01-06 09:46:00 Thanks Agent 24. I DL'ed WinsockFix and ran it but no luck. The browser never completed loading. I tried both FF and IE with the same result. It was worth a try though. bluenose (14548)
845850 2010-01-06 11:29:00 Reinstalling your ethernet driver might make it go. Do you know what your ethernet device is? Agent_24 (57)
845851 2010-01-07 08:22:00 I guess the ethernet driver is working ok. It's nVidia according to Puppy-431 and I am using it right now through the Desktop PC in question.

Again, many thanks for all you help. It's good to know where to come when you need help and/or advice.

845852 2010-01-07 21:18:00 Can you post the output of lspci command from puppy? Agent_24 (57)
845853 2010-01-08 02:49:00 Yes, I can give that a try but you'll have to guide me. Linux is a foreign country to me. Also have to get lappy side by side with desktop. That shouldn't take long though. bluenose (14548)
845854 2010-01-08 03:07:00 Just open a console\terminal in puppy (there's a shortcut on the desktop) and type the command "lspci" and press enter

Then it will list all your PCI devices. Then just write down what is displayed. Only the information relating to the Ethernet card is probably needed.

845855 2010-01-08 04:38:00 It's quite a long list of numbers. About 21 lines. Can you give me a clue as to which ones we are looking for. Or do you want the whole lot? bluenose (14548)
845856 2010-01-08 04:54:00 You should be able to highlight the whole thing, copy and paste it directly onto the forum... Agent_24 (57)
