Ethernet and New Operating System Install

apprentice · 03-31-2007, 02:31 AM

Currently have Dell Latitude Laptop, C600, 10/100 Ethernet, PIII, Windows 2000 Professional is op system.

My question is, I am going to be installing Windows XP Pro. I am not doing an upgrade but starting from scratch. I have 10/100 Ethernet which is how I get online via broadba using cl**rwire. If I install this new operating system, will I be able to get online again without having to reload anything regarding this "ethernet." Have looked tirelessly online to see if I need to reload drivers, etc., or if it is not necessary. Found one comment which said "no" but wanted to check for sure. In a perfect world, it would be a seamless transition. Thanks for your time.
