I recently upgraded to Windows XP and now when I start up my computer, it
tells me new hardware found (Ethernet Controller) and wants the software to
install it. The Ethernet Controller came with the computer and I don't have
software for it. So of course, without the ethernet controller I have no
access to the internet. Any suggestions?

Find out who is the manufacturer of your network interface and which model
it is and download a driver for it.

We cannot give you any clues based on the information you have given.

If any recovery/restore disk(s) were provided with the PC, install the Ethernet
Controller drivers from the appropriate disk after carefully reading the
documentation that was provided with the PC on how to restore drivers/software. You
need to be 100% sure that any disk provided will restore only software and/or drivers
and not Reformat the drive to Factory condition.

Go to the PC manufacturers support site and download/install the Ethernet
Controller drivers per their instructions for your specific PC Make/model.

If you do not know which Ethernet Controller you have download/run:
Everest Home Edition: (Last one offered free)
http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads9.html

http://basconotw.mvps.org/dwnlds.htm

Create a new folder named Everest and extract the contents of the download to

that folder.

Open the folder and double-click everest.exe to run the application.

Click the + next to Computer.

Click Summary.

Scroll to the section for your installed devices chip/adapter.

Recently I've seen one PC that behaves like you describe:
after upgrading a video card, it finds a (bogus) network
controller after each reboot.
Fixed by increasing video aperture size in the BIOS setup.
Perhaps a BIOS update was needed as well.
