HI

I have done a fresh install with xp home. There is absolutely nothing else on the pc. When i try to connect i get "failed to query tcp/ip settings for the connection. I know i have a connection to the internet as it works on another pc so it is not my router, modem etc. What do I do?

Thanks

First look in device manager and see if your network adapter is installed.

Yes, it is installed, thanks. Any other suggestions?

then uninstall the adapter from device manager, reboot and go through the hardware detection/driver install process.
