Can't connect to internet or home network

[Guest]

I had to reinstall windows xp sp2 on my comp. the initial install went ok, i
enabled the firewall, but when i try to connect to the internet i can't. Ive
tried several times to set up a new connection. Ive rebooted the modem and
the router. In the device manager under network it shows a 1394 eee card,
directly under it there shows UNKNOWN DEVICES with a yellow "?" which is a
ethernet controller.there doesn't seem to be any problems with any other
devices. (I don't know if its in the irq set up) I cant find any drivers for
this on any disks I have. Ive tried deleting it. reinstalling xp, cant figure
it out. the other 2 comp on the home network work fine.
The computers internet connection worked fine before this. I was forced to
reinstall xp because a virus or spyware i couldn't remove.
A!ny help would be greatly apprieciated. thanks

i removed the 1394 card which was for digital video (dazzle), which i
installed several months after i got the comp. it worked fine till i had to
reinstall xp) but now in device manager there's nothing for network adapters
but in unknown devices it still shows an ethernet adapter. Ive gone onto dell
site and downloaded (via dial up) all the network drivers for my comp (dell
4550 2.4) and still no luck. im totally puzzled.

I believe you posted this in another newsgroup and I answered you there.
