Last night I switched to Windows XP Professional 64-bit version form the
normal 32-bit version, and since then havent been able to get a real
connection working.

All I get in Network Connections is it saying it is a 1394  connection that
is connected at 400.0 Mbps and that it's allways connected, even when the
cable is on my other comp (this one), it allways says no packets sent and
none received although it also sites that it has been connected(and still
thinks it is) after 11 and one half hours.

Tried unhooking the modem for 40 secs and pluging back in. Went into
properties and reset the TCP/IP I belive. Tried to make a new connection
everyway that I could think of with the connection wizard, but to no
avail.Even called Charter but said that they didd'nt have enough info on
64-bit to help me! So I thought I would come here.

Umm lets see I installed the OS off of a boot dvd disc with the ISO file
burnt onto it, it made a new partition for 64-bit version I belive because I
now have C: and I: drive, C: has all the info it did before.

Anyone have any info on the 64-bit and what I could do to get it working
again? ty Jeremy williams.

Hi
1394 is the Network Firewire connection. You lost your Eherent LAN
connection. My guess would be that the Network Card drivers are not 4bit
compatible.
Find 4bit driver for your card, uninstall the ghost (if there is one,
http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost ) from the device manger and try to
Re-Install the 64bit drivers.

The New Connection Wizard won't help -- it doesn't have the ability to
create a local area network connection.

Windows XP should automatically detect the computer's Ethernet adapter
and create a LAN connection for it.  Since it apparently didn't do
that, go to Device Manager, look under Network Adapters, and see
what's there.  The problem could be that XP Pro can't find a 64-bit
driver for your computer's Ethernet adapter.  You might be able to
download that driver from the Internet using XP Pro 32-bit or another
computer.

Tks guys, I will try shortly booting in 32-bit and seeing if I can find it,
ty vm, will report laters.

I uninstaled my driver while in 32-bit mode, just realized many hours later
why that could be a terrible thing it could of been to do that. searched for
hours on the internet for a match for my "Intel(R) Pro 1000/PL Network
Connection" only to find mostly fake sites trying to get me to buy their
program to be able to download the driver for my adapter. When I finnaly got
one that was supposed to be close to the version of my driver and downloaded
it ,I did not know how to install it, spending most of the time researching
today how to do these things but allways failing. I tried to do the simple
update driver thing in the device manager, but to no avail(tried in both 32
and 64 bit versions, but could not try in 64 because it will not recognize my
adapter and would not show it so that I could try to update it, only the 1394
one) ,allways saying that mine was the most up to date versiosn of the
driver. the version was 9.3.39.0 and it said on the interner that it did
provide what was needed for 64-bit.  So now I am back at square one, just
with my 32-bit missing icon picutures after I uninstalled, and then rolled
back to a different date to get it back lol. Dont know what else to try...
tks for original help though.

Also finnally I found the driver that I had and looked it up, it said that
