The 1394 connection is your firewire port. It is not a real network connection and cannot be used to connect to your LAN. It sounds like you system is not recognizing the ethernet adapter which is what you need to connect to you LAN. Did you install the chipset drivers for your motherboard as the first device drivers after reinstallation of Windows? In order for Windows to recognize and install drivers for any integrated devices, the chipset drivers must be installed first.
Actually I don't know much about setting up the pc. But I just install windows and then create 1394 net adaptor. Could you please guide me how i can install the one that you are saying?
Look at the section under Install Hardware Drivers for links to documents on installing each of the hardware drivers, including the chipset drivers and the network adapter.
