No Internet Connection - New PC

[Degilles]

I am building a computer from old parts that I had. I just got it up and running and was installing all my drivers, but I couldn't find my LAN driver on my motherboards cd, but after looking manually on the CD through the files I found it - I think. I installed what I thought was the driver, but I couldn't connect to the internet. I have tried for about an hour to get it working with no success.

I have tried multiple installations of the drivers - or what I think are the drivers.
There is no "network" under device manager.
The modem is connected to one other computer and works fine.
I tried different slots on the modem, and none of them are lighting up when I plug it in.
I tried different ethernet cables (1 brand new one).
I've restarted multiple times.
Ran the New Connection wizard in xp multiple times.

Anyone know of any more fixes or had similar problems?

Thanks, I've been meaning to try and download the drivers onto USB and do it that way (the pc in question isn't at my house). Just not sure why it's not working with the CD.

make sure to install the chipset drivers first.
