What kind of internet connection are you using?? Without the windows drivers for your ethernet card I don't see a way you can connect to anything using that card. However you got online here to ask this question may be your ticket to find and download the drivers for that card, ethernet card drivers are usually able to be put on 1 floppy disk..

PS: A lesson to be learned for all >> Check to be sure you have the drivers you will need before reformatting your harddrive and reinstalling windows...
