I accidently wiped out my windows OS after running it the past 3 years. So i reinstalled it. For some reason I can't connect to the internet. Just wondering if someone could give me a checklist of somethings to check.

I run a linux live CD, and when I am on linux I can connect to the internet but not when i am using windows.

I have checked the ethernet card when I go to my network connections and it says it is connected.

I aslo tried to activate windows but I can't cause it can't connect to the internet.

Can anybody help?? I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.

 
You need the driver for your ethernet card. Windows XP may not have it in it's driver cache. Using your working internet, go to the card manufacturers website and download the Windows XP drivers for your card, and you should be fine after installing that on XP.
