Thompson 585v7 set-up. HELP !!!

[#1]

I had to reload my Win XP then started to reload my missing programs: When I started the set-up process for the 585v7 (according to the instructions) I could not get the Broadband setup page to show on my browser. I am using my other PC (wireless)  to send this enquiry so assuming the 585 is running OK...
ASDL cable is secure with an orange led on constantly plus a yellow led flashing. The led is running "green" at the router so I am assuming it is an issue with the reload setup. There have been no changes except for the XP reload.

I am assuming that you are trying wired
The first question is whether the network driver has been loaded
If you go into Device Manager is there a yellow or red tick next to the network device

Hi:
Found Device Manager and the hardware list had a yellow question mark against the Ethernet controller...
The reason being that no driver was present and asked for it to be re-installed...
However the Resource disk has no drivers for this device and the Broadcom drivers had no effect on the Ethernet Controller either.

You need the driver for your motherboard network device
Moved to Windows as this isn't router related
