Back up all your data. Then when that is safe wipe the HDD with a wiping utility like Boot & Nuke available here

While the Wiping Utility is running pick up every game that you have and throw them out after fists destroying the Data Face to prevent any one else from using them.

Then grab your original Recovery Disc/s and perform a complete install and reload after the HDD has been wiped then you can reinstall your Software & Data and perform any updates that are required.

It is also possible your NIC died. If you have another card, drop it in to see if it works. That will let you know if it is software or hardware.

I probably didn't utilize Safe Mode as early in Windows troubleshooting as I should have. I certainly didn't switch to Linux early enough in my career: I'd rather spend time learning how the computer works than waste time learning why the computer doesn't work.

record your TCP settings if not DHCP then run these one of these commands
NETSH INT IP RESET C:\RESETLOG.TXT
or
NETSH WINSOCK RESET CATALOG
then
reenter static IP info or run IPCONFIG /RENEW *

recognized by the Device Manager? If not then add a NIC to the system (while off and unplugged), reboot and your NIC will be back. Then go to the system (or manufacturer's) web site and download the latest BIOS update and NIC update, install/Flash. This is a common HP 5100 w/Broadcom issue and may affect other boards.
