Welcome to Windrivers kuangmao
Did you download the drivers From this page? There is only one LAN (network) driver - perhaps you are confusing it with something else? What devices in device manager have ! or ? next to them?

Did you download and install the chipset drivers?
You can order Recovery CDS as well to get the right version.

ok do this

start
run
type in
cmd
click ok
When the black box opens type in the box
ipconfig /all
and press enter
and look at the IP address for the network card (you might have more than one if you have firewire, modems or or ther networking devices attached)

If the IP address starts 169.x.x.x then the card is working, it just can't get a proper IP and you need to post about what your computer network card is connected to.

If the IP is 0.0.0.0
Type in
ping 127.0.0.1

after you get everything going so if you run into this trouble again...when you restored your computer did you delete the restore partition? if not press f10 or f11 the second you see the hp logo on the screen...if you did delete the restore partition just contact hp and for a small fee they will send you the disks...ps if you call hp and not tell them what you did and say you pressed f10 or f11 and nothing happened, you may get those disks free
