I just had to re-install 2k pro and ran into these problems. It only has 16
colors, and I can't figure out how to get to the net through the Router
(cabled). I am going crazy, as this is a laptop, and I haven't had to do
this, ever! Please help.
 
Be sure to apply SP4 and these two below to your new install before
connecting to any network. Internet included. (sasser, msblast)

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-043.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-049.mspx

Then

Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...CF-8850-4531-B52B-BF28B324C662&displaylang=en

Then goto the manufacturer's web site to get the drivers for your hardware.

Thanks Dave,

I still cannot coonect to the internet. I dupt in the first 3 patches,
(beofre the word then, re-started the computer, and cannot reach the net.
Also, it still does not have 32 bit color. The Service pack 4 wants to
authenticate my ms 2000, but I can't get the machine to the web. It seems a
viscious circle. Please advise.
 
You are useing an ethernet connection to the router?
If so its probably because you failed to install your laptop hardware
drivers, which is why your display is like it is.
Do you not have any laptop driver cd's supplied with your sys?
If you have lost them you will have to use another pc to access your laptop
manu web site, then download/burn the drivers, Chipset,video etc, *specific*
to your model. Then install these on your laptop

Went to the IBM site, lots of stuff, but nothing for the T21 net connection.
I tried the monitor driver, but the plug and play monitor did not recognize
it. I am real frustrated! This is a mess! Any other help? I thought I was
good at this, but I am going crazy. Thanks.

I cannot get the Chipset for the T21 at the Levono site. Any ideas?

I am stumped. My BIOS was more updated, and it did nothing. I think I am
missing all the chipset and drivers, and the site (lenovo) does not have the
downloads I need. Any other suggestions would be extremely helpful, as I do
not know what to do next. Thanks for all you patience and help.
 
The link DP provided has both the ethernet and video driver that you require
Together with other relevent drivers

I'd start at the top and go through the steps. Skip the ones that have been
completed.

I've had the same problem, and solved it by getting
the ie6setup.exe file, and running it.

That's worked for me several times on new, clean installs.
