Whoa... deja-vu

jaalaI don't think I made it perfectly clear in my last entry, but on the computer front all seemed to be working about as well as one can expect a three-year-old laptop computer (on its second hard drive and second OS) to work. So I went through the whole Norton Antivirus and Windows Update rigmarole just as I was told to do to protect against viruses. Everything downloaded onto the laptop and installed fine. Then, when I re-booted: no internet connection. Again.
Aaaaaggh!
(I downloaded my email before Windows Update though--a lot accumulated over the sixteen days I was away or recuperating for a night between trips, and I was worried that Mt A was deleting my mail off its servers. It was in Eudora not Outlook, I didn't even preview any new messages much less open attachments, and Norton instantly vaporized at least four infected attachments that arrived.)
Neither my dad nor I can find any explanation as to why every single network adapter card in the house suddenly refuses to "start" when plugged into my computer. Drivers have been checked and updated. Dad refuses to call a help line or let me seek out any paid outside assistance. I need a working computer when I move into my room in residence on September 1. Anybody out there with a ThinkPad iSeries running Windows 2000 who can offer some advice?
