The problem with humanity is: we have paleolithic emotions; medieval institutions; and God-like technology. Edward O. Wilson
Just stabbing in the dark here, apologies if you've been thru this --
try this:
Click on these:
Control Panel (Classic view if not already in classic view)
Network Connections
Local Area Connection
Properties button
---- you should get something that looks like this:
-- Do you have all of these in this list? Especially the Internet Protocol?
...if so, highlight like mine and hit "Properties"...
Mine is setup fully automatic, so it's essentially blank:
Using the command prompt and the ipconfig command will 'fill in the blanks'...
-- If yours looks like mine, you should be able to connect to the internet. If anything's missing, it'll need fixing

To quote the wikipedia page for XP (you should correct it if it's wrong):
Beyond the final security updates released on April 8 [2014] no more security patches or support information are provided for XP free-of-charge; "critical patches" will still be created, and made available only to customers subscribing to a paid "Custom Support" plan. As it is a Windows component, all versions of Internet Explorer for Windows XP also became unsupported.
So there. Once again, don't be an easy target, and don't encourage other people to be an easy target.
I liked XP, sort-of, but 7 was a better OS. I wish they made something so good now; alas, even support for that is scheduled to end next year. Change is hard.
Just say, stack-ranking sucks. Etc.

"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
We used to be hunter gatherers. Now we're shopper borrowers.

You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ammo.
Here's the webpage, with 2019 updates, I just searched "XP 2019 updates... https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...updates%202019
-- anyone who's charging for these downloads is probably breaking the law...
-note the page that comes up is just #1 of 15. I just call 'em as I see 'em.
I'm not encouraging, nor am I discouraging the use of XP. Myself, I HAVE to use XP, certain programs I rely heavily on simply won't work on a non-DOS based computer.

I sure do miss OS/2.
