Yes, I should be able to figure this out on my own by now but damn it Im stuck. Extremely long story short, dweez knows about this one, I had a program conflict with windows7 and I just couldnt resolve it SO I have reinstalled XP Pro and everything seem hunky dory until I try to connect to the internet. When I run the diagnostic my results say:
Info: Network connection: Name=1394 connection, Device=1394 net adapter, Media type=LAN, Submediatype=1394
Warn: This machine does not have any installed network adapters. The required network device drivers may not be installed.
I have checked my Network Connections and they read 1394 Connection/Connected/1394 Net Adapter And when I check the props it says Device is working properly.
What next?

Have you tried reseting TCP/IP it's what I would try to do, please find instructions below and I hope it helps ;)
Manual method to reset TCP/IP
1 To open a command prompt, click Start and then click Run. Copy and paste (or type) the following command in the Open box and then press ENTER:
cmd
2 At the command prompt, copy and paste (or type) the following command and then press ENTER:
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
Note If you do not want to specify a directory path for the log file, use the following command:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
3 Reboot the computer.
It's all i can think of at this stage ;)
Edit oOpS an explanation One of the components of the Internet connection on your computer is a built-in set of instructions called TCP/IP. TCP/IP can sometimes become damaged or corrupted. If you cannot connect to the Internet and you have tried all other methods to resolve the problem, TCP/IP might be causing it.

1394 device is Firewire. Windows has been considering these "network devices" for quite some time but they aren't really (not unless your cable/dsl modem happens to let you connect to it via firewire like you can connect to most with USB). Your driver for your actual ethernet/wireless card hasn't been installed yet so you'll need to find out the make/model of your card and download the driver from the Inet via another computer (or maybe you still have the drivers disk for the computer if you bought it pre-built).
Check your Device Manager to see if you have any (http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo51/dw33z/Smileys/d5568aba.jpg) listed there. One of them will be the ethernet/wireless card.

No go. Thanks for the suggestion though ABC.

The one that says "Ethernet Controller" is what you need a driver for.
-
It worked for me a few times god you got quite a few drivers missing there :'(
Anyhow Now we can see what the problem is no ethernet controller driver I would get the graphics & sound drivers too. SM bus controller driver is for your chipset and needs installing imo good luck ;)
A good reason for fixing the sm bus controller ;)
The SMBus Controller (or system bus controller) is part of the Intel chipset. It monitors your system board's temperature and voltage. Programs that read your hardware sensors need the controller.
-
So I should be able to go to the Dell website and download the drivers to my external and then load them onto my PC?
-
Yes if they come zipped then unzip and point the update driver tab to the location where you unzipped them. The odd one will be a EXE. file most likey
the graphics and sound drivers
PS. it's an Intel chipset so can get from intel too
-
Yeah, typically on a new install, I just make sure I have the ethernet drivers. Everything else I can download afterwards. If it's Dell, then the download should be a self-extracting exe and then, from Drivers tab of your Ethernet Controller's properties windows, click on Update Driver and browse the the location of the .inf file that was extracted.
-
You made me think I got all my drivers on the external which is screwed for now. So need to re download them all in case I go down. Then i would be really screwed. thanks for the wake up call ;)
-
Check Mate!! Thank You gentlemen. Im a happy camper again.
-
I hope you got all the missing drivers that were on that list.
Just a heads-up but if you are ever uncertain of the exact hardware you need drivers for, this program (http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html) is fantastic for identifying the exact model and version of whatever hardware is down, and it's free.
-
I did, thanks. Runnin' full speed now with hopefully no pitfalls.

You guys and your peecees.
It is so endearing.
It's not a PC, it's a Dell..
