Local Area Connection

Hi,
I had an HP dc7100 with 2 HDD. The power supply burned and I moved the 2 disks to another HP PC d530 (older). Everything is fine and when I assign the static IP address the LAC shows as "connected" but I can not ping anywhere.
If I tried to use the automatic using my DHCP service... the status is as "!acquiring network address" and it never give me an address.
Can you please help me?

I would try downloading the actual drivers for the network adapter on that model and see if that resolves the problem.

We did already and still is not working. There are a lot of network cards created under device manager. Is there a way I can "clean" everything and start from scratch the Local Area Connection.
I think that way it could work, my feeling is the OS is confused

Strange thigs is that the local area connection is not showing any package neither sent or received.

You could uninstall every network device in device manager, then reboot the computer. It would add only what it saw then.

The other question, are you sure that older system has a working NIC?
