Re: can't get internet

Thanks! Downloaded Belarc Advisor and it detected (among other things):

Network drives: None detected

Communications: Sonic Blue SUP2380 DATA Fax Modem
1394 network card
Eicon DIVA 2.01 S/T (ISAPNP)

I bought the computer from someone who surfed on it (maybe via ISDN?). Where
can I find the drivers? (It's a Compaq Presario Pentium III). Don't know
about the motherboard etc.
