I have Insightbb connection and a router and cable modem. and 3 computers in the networks, 3 wired, no wireless

I just formated my Main computer(I think the host computer) becuase it was filled with junk, but after i reinstalled Windows xp home edition, my internet for that computer wasent working. The Internet worked for the other 2 computers, but not the one i just formated.

I called insight, but i was kinda stupid cuz it wasent there falt. But the person I talked to said that it might have something to do with the Computer hardware. Maybe that the Computer didnt install the hardware i needed to connect. I think he said something about Ethernet or Adapter, so i looked up it. I tryed to reinstall it but it didnt work.

Nothing els i try works . can anyone help me? I reallly nees internet to work, im a busy man!

Thanks in advance

Click to expand...

do you have any active firewalls? (windows firewall, etc.?)
 
are the other two computers on the network using the internet connection from the computer that the internet does not work on
 
Well, the comptuer that dosent work now, was the Main/Host computer, but befor i formated it, it kinda looks like it wasnt, looked like non of them were the host. But now, 2 computers, wired up works and a wireless too. I dont think it has to do with these computer, something do to with the Lan Card in my coomputer... help plz! :(

And they do use the same connection, Insightbb with Linksys.
 
Does the lan work on the main pc? Did you do the internet connection wizard? Make sure your card is not disabled!
 
Sounds like you didn't install the drivers for your NIC

Right-click My Computer --> Properties,
click on the Hardware tab, then device manager.

See if the drivers installed, if not - find the disk or use another PC to fetch it.
