So I just inherited my moms old Gateway Solo 5300 laptop computer. It came with ME originally so I obviously took that shit off of there and now have XP Pro. I went to the Gateway site and searched for motherboard drivers for the computer so I can use the ethernet port but they didn't work. I did what the file said to do but again, they didn't work.

The ethernet port isn't even listed in the device managers so I'm wondering if anyone can give tips/tricks to get the port to work. I'm running out of time to activate windows and I'd hate to reformat just so I can activate Windows.

So are there more in depth ways to get the port to show up? Does anyone know of another place that I can get drivers that might work? I've searched but came up empty handed.

Thanks in advance.
 
You could try this...
disable in bios,
reboot into windows,
remove all drivers for it via device manager,
reboot to windows again,
just for good measure, then reboot,
enable in bios, and boot into windows again.
