PPPoE Question

by syxguns . Updated 19 years, 11 months ago

Okay, I have a machine that had a 32-bit Processor & Motherboard. After a lot of troubleshooting I realized the Motherboard had gone out. I had to replace the Processor and Motherboard with 64-bit. I did a Windows update with my original version of XP. Now my original version does not even have SP1 on it. I did not have a shadow backup of SP1 & SP2 but at the time I was not concerned. Now here is the problem I am facing:

1)If I go to make a new connection I do not receive the option to create using my user name and password.

2)I installed my old PPPoE connection which I believe is Enet (32-bit) but I am told that a cable is disconnected!

In order to get this PPPoE connection to work will I need to download a 64-bit connection to install? My system is connected to a Speed Stream 5360 external modem. I have changed the speed of the Ethernet adapter and I still cannot seem to get this thing to work. Any advice you have will be greatly appreciated!
