Cant delete network bridge|ARG!|=]

[Jeff]

Ok, My Internet connection is fine through the eathernet
card. however my 1394 connecter in the advanced tab has
no properties. says that the windows management
instrumentation (wmi) might be corrupted and to use
system restore. the prob is that i reinstalled wiondows
as upgrade and it not only didnt fix the problem it left
no viable restore points. this problem also affects a
dead network bridge thaty i can not delete. which has
absolutely no properties itself. thus i can not use the
network setup wizard to set up my network. My basic
question is... is there a windows based utility that will
restore my network connection settings to clean os
install defaults? perhaps removing networking option from
optional windows componants and re checking it????
thank you for your time and for refrence my os is xp
pro /w sp1 and all other updates installed. my mobo is
gigabyte sinxp1394 /w intel intg. lan, all drivers
updated /w 2wire wireless router, configed propernl.
(xcept 4 the bridge)=]

once again thank you for your time.
