TCP/IP disabled

[Mike]

I have 1 network card installed on my computer and it is
on the motherboard...What happened was I overclocked my
computer to 30% and the system hung so I had to flash the
bios. When i rebooted into windows my network connection
was all messed up. I have an internal network so in my
network connections 2 network connections show up.
My "real" nic card and then one that says 1394
Connection. The 3 com network connection gets an ip
address of 192.168... which is the internal network and
the 1394 connection used to be the one connecting to the
internet and pulling the outside ip address. The problem
is now I cant get an ip address with the 1394 connection
and when i try to repair it i get a message
saying "Tcp/ip is not enabled for this connection" and
when i go to ipconfig /all only the 3com card shows up.
Anyone know how I can repair this problem? I have
uninstalled and reinstalled the network adapters but that
didnt solve it and tcp/ip is installed on both adapters
as well.
Thanks in advance
Mike

You may have fried some hardware (the NIC?), or you may have
simply caused errors to propagate from RAM to your HD. You can
try reloading the OS & drivers from scratch to test the error
hypothesis, but if you fried hardware, then replace those
pieces.

I have little sympathy for you, since the proper term for
overclocking is overcooking. {Been there, done that.}
