Problem with my Toshiba Satellite 1700-500

This is a used Toshiba laptop I bought from a friend who came from
Norway so its a Norwegian model Satellite Laptop. I have the laptop
and the power adapter but no drivers disks, no manuals whatsoever.
It runs ok under Windows XP Pro SP-1. The only problem is it has a
built-in Ethernet which is not functioning. The V-90 modem port is
ok. I don't want to use the modem port anymore becasue DSL connection
via LAN port is not available in our place. By the way I'm living
here in the Philippines right now.

I have already searched the Toshiba Europe support site for the user
manual and specs, but the Toshiba 1700-500 specs they have supplied
has no built-in LAN port, but in fact my laptop has one. I have
already done everything so that Windows XP will auto-detect the LAN
port. But still no go.

I wonder maybe there are still different types under the Satellite
1700-500 model. The exact model number for my unit is:
PS170E-000UX-NO. It has a Celeron 700 processor, 128 MB SDRAM, 10
Giga Hard disk, DVD-Rom drive, and V90 modem & 10/100 Mbps Lan
port, etc.

One thing I noticed, my friend must have upgraded it to Windows XP Pro
from Windows ME because I found the Widnows ME product key sticker at
the bottom of the laptop. Maybe the LAN port was still functioning
when it was still the Windows ME that was used before. I really
don't know.

Will greatly appreciate any help I can get, specifically about the LAN
port.

Thanks.
