Reinstalled my 6800gt drivers and NIC driver went missing

[jazmann]

Well, I built my new system and had mucho trouble. First I got a bad board. Epox 9npa ultra. They sent me a new one. Bought a bad 6800gt from a member here. Evga replaced it. Got it all up and running finally, but when i went to install new drivers for the card, it wiped out alot of my other drivers including my NIC. Prior to the reinstallation of the card drivers it connected to the net fine. I tinker alot, but am admittedly pretty ignorant with alot of technical stuff. Im trying to network my new computer with the old one i have. Both run XP. Wierd thing is, under network connections it shows 1394 and i havent done anything with 1394.

So could someone please point me in the right direction to get my new cpu at least able to connect to the net? An easy to follow network guide would be immensly helpful as well. I have a router and am using cat5.

My new system is an AMD 3000+venice running xp and 1GB ram. Oh, and the reason i tried to reinstall drivers for the vid card in the first place was that i could not run 3D acceleration for some reason. It would crash every time i tried to play WoW.
Thank you all in advance.

Did you use drivercleaner to remove the drivers? You probably removed all Nvidia drivers if that was the case.

I believe I did as this is what Evga suggested, I can't connect to the net now on that pc so am unclear as to where to go from there.

Reinstall your Nforce drivers and you should be all set. Text

Okay, update. Found and enabled the NIC in bios. Has an addy and everything. Unfortunately i called verizon to see if they could help me connect with the new cpu as i have a router and would like to use 2 cpus. They had me ping the same addy 30+times with the same bad result every time, so they gave up and said it had to be a bad card. I don't think its a bad card, i just think that verizon techs don't know what to do unless its a problem easily found in thier handbook. Could someone point me in the right direction?
