    Win XP SP3 P4 Abit IS7G 35G Raptor 1G RAM Avast. Horrible Win32 Trojan infection forced XP reinstall to clean hard drive. Start/Control Panel/Network Connections, under LAN or Highspeed Internet, there is no Local Area Connection icon (only 1394) and no DSL Internet connection; DL'd new LAN driver onto CD on other comp, but no way to install it. Thanks for help.

    Is the LAN card showing in Device Manager? Right click My Computer, choose Manage, then choose device manager.

    Do you see anything like unknown device or something with Yellow ! marks?

    If so it is likely your LAN card, double click it and choose update driver and point it to the CD with the new drivers on.
