WinXP not meant for internet

[[shawn@localhost /home]#]

well i got XP on my new system and it sucks my d***

i checked the device drivers to examine the card itself and its drivers, it says this device is working properly

i went to internet options and configured my internet as broadband (always connected), auto configure IP, auto DNS and it tells me 'your settings are active and are working fine', it basically tells me that it is already setup good so i went to system information and it would not say any status on LAN or DNS but it sayd proxy settings are disable (i don't need or use proxy so that is good)

i turned off the built in firewall thinking that maybe it was the problem but no success, i also tried something other than IE to see if that was a problem but both Diablo2 and Half-Life cannot connect to the internet

what the heck is wrong with this stupid f***in OS? has MS totaly lost it this time????
