to get on the internet (if XP did not already supply drivers) then install the network drivers (and all other drivers) from the supplied CD.
if you do not have a CD then you can download them from the manufacturers website.
motherboard manufacturer if its custom built PC and network is built in

my friend as xenos said you need drivers.
if you go to control panel/system/devices you will see which things need drivers
u need to download the drivers and install them. then all the things will work.
About internet now, you need to be more specific, if you have wireless, cable etc so we can help u

Insert your Motherboard CD and install driver for Sound.
Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager > And you can easy see witch Drivers you still need ( red x cross or yellow ! mark )
