So I reformated my computer last night and everything went well. The only problem I am running into is that I cannot connect to the internet anymore. I've tried reinstalling the ethernet drivers for my nvidia nforce 4 chipset and I've tried to install my linksys wireless - g adapter and it does connect to the home wireless network but the internet is unavaliable. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get back on the internet because I cannot actiivate windows until I have some sort of connection to the the internet.

Btw I think I'm using service pack 1 xp and since i can't connect to the internet I  can not update any of the drivers or xp to service pack 2. Would this be one of the issues of why I can not connect to the internet?

 I am just very fustrated right now since I was up all night trying to solve this dumb problem so any feedback and help would be greatly appreciated!
