One question, is the DHCP Client service running? That's a needed component
that must be running, whether the machine is set to DHCP or static.
Otherwise, if you've re-installed EVERY component (not sure what components
you mean, since you didn't list them), then the onluy course of action is to
re-run setup as an upgrade to refresh the operating system components
without losing your settings, apps, etc. Then reinstall the service packs
and re-run Windowsupdate to bring you up to date.
Too bad McAfee can't help other than telling you to reinstall THEIR product
to fix it.
