Missing Firewire

My son's computer lost its ability to connect to the internet. After
troubleshooting I find that the firewire (1394) is missing. How do I get this
back? The computer (PC Clone - WinXP) can see and connect to the wireless
network, but it won't connect to the internet.

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Hi
You do not need the Firewire to connect to the Internet.
May be this can Help.
Debug Network.
In General you can debug the Network Setting of the computer following these steps.[/
Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager. Make sure that
the drivers are installed correctly; there is No IRQ conflict, and No Ghost
installation. http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost
Step Two Verify Basic network setting in the OS: http://www.ezlan.net/Installing#verify
If the above two Steps indicates that every thing looks good but functionally it does
not work.
Step Three. Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and or refresh
the TCP/IP Stack. http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet
If need to Reinstall; Log to this page it have a lot of links to instructions for

Thank you very much. I will give it a try. I have never had a problem that I
could not fix on my own before.
