Conditions: Kobolauncher running, device connected and "Usbnet" tapped --> It says "USB Network Running!". Windows offers to set up new device.

(I am away from the desktop just now but essentially things are as described above).
It is good that Windows recognizes the existence of the device. When it offers to set up the new device, it should also provide the option to select from a list and not have XP look for the driver. This should give you a listing of device categories that you can scroll through. One of those should be "network adapters". Selecting that should give you a long list of manufactures, Microsoft should also be on that list. When you then select Microsoft, there should have been a listing of devices, services, and protocols Microsoft provides for "network adapters" - but this is not the case for you? Are you running XP Home? What I described above is what I can remember from XP Pro 64bit.

Luck;
Ken
