Help, Can not connect

[safetyguy]

Bought a new system with the A7N8X deluxe Motherboard and am having problems connecting to the internet. I know the net is working cause i here now on my old system. When I bring up network connections under control panel it shows the 2 local area connections :the NVIDIA and the 3COM. and Also the 1394 Net adapter. I have the Nvidia disabled and the modem plugged into the 3 com port. I have set up the ICP setting as per COX cable for WIN XP. On the back of the computer you can sse the light blinking at the ethernet connection so how can i get my cards to work??

did you repower the cable modem? What IP address is the adapter getting from the cable modem?
