OK.
I have an old(ish) XP machine which was connected via a modem to AOL 9m ago. It has been in the loft and I have just got it back out.
I have my main machine running Vista and am currently running on O2 broadband with an O2 router (a Thomson I believe).
I bought one of these and installed it on my XP machine.
I then tried to install my O2 broadband assistant but when it checks if my PC is compatibe it says that there is no network card.
So i tried to configure it on teh USB netowrk thingy software and managed to pick up my router. My Vista machine can also see my XP machine. BUT I cannot connect to the internet on the XP machine and when I click on my XP machine in the network and sharing centre on Vista it says the path or filename is invalid.
Have I missed something obvious?
