Network connesction using Net Adapter 1394

Question

I recently had a new hard drive put into my Inspiron 700M after the last one failed.   Having reinstalled Windows XP, I didnt have another recovery disk with all the drivers.   I have been successful in using Dell's website to download certain drivers (Intel Pro Wireless, Video Card, Audio Card, and a chip set), but I am still unable to connect to the internet via my ethernet connection. If I turn my wireless connection off and plug in my ethernet wire, I am unable to have the network recognize.   Is there anyone who knows which driver to install or possible other solution?

The 1394 adapter is your firewire port, which is not normally used in Networking.   The drivers for your ethernet network adapter are the following:   http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=RC956904&l=en&s=hied&releaseid=R85255&SystemID=INS_PNT_PM_700M&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=2966&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=2&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=5&fileid=111674   Steve
