Can you please run the program 'netcfg' (Menu > network > config) and write here what is written there.
Only the text with a blue background is nescessary.
Then we can try to fix this at the root of the problem.

So it seems you had a problem with network driver now.
hidnplayr will help you - please follow his questions in this topic.
Regarding screen resolution, which options do you have when you press A in the boot screen (blue screen)?

two options only:

640X480 VGA 16 COLORS
'netcfg' (Menu > network > config)
Fine.

Hmmm, can you try the program PCIDEV instead?
menu > system > system sensors > PCI devices

It seems your BIOS doesn't contain VESA modes or KolibriOS has a bug reading them. Does your laptop have the latest BIOS version installed?

But same chip in different laptop does support 640x480x24 bit:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2637&start=60#p56648
So
*theoretically* it should be possible to update this BIOS to support 640x480x24 bit.
