OK, I have more information and have unsuccessfully tried some things.
I inserted restore disk and extracted all files and
installed from
Emachines11/Drivers/LAN/Setup Icon I
got DriverInstaller-InstallShield Wizard (Intel)
Installed network drivers from
Drivers\LAN\APPS\SETUP\SETUPBD\W98-XP32SetupBD
I did NOT install Drivers\LAN\APPS\PROSet\WIN2K\PROSet
(Windows Installer Package) because I do not have Windows 2000
Previously, I did Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter Setup from
C:\My Backup -- 11-04-14 0214PM\Drivers\Broadcom
Drivers\D00464-001-001\D00464-001-001 (The backup was from the automatic backup
of C drive when I did the restore.)
I am still showing no network connections
From my Belarc Advisor report which had been run previous to restore

I have done searches for things like "PCI\VEN_14E4" but 1) I have no clue that is what I really need and 2) I have no clue whether the sites where I am going are legit.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

eMachines D2880 running Windows XP home. Intel Motherboard had been replaced with HP 090 CL about a year ago which caused numerous problems that might have culminated in the crash that precipitated the current issue. I did a non-destruct reinstall of windows.
Neither my sound or internet access were working after the reinstall, but I was able to get the sound working by having the wizard search my computer for the appropriate software. However, no such luck on my network card. On the device manager, I get both an exclamation point and question mark. I really have no clue what software I need or who the hardware manufacturer is (it did not show up on legacy Belarc Advisor report) as it was original installation. (If need be, I can open things up and look.) Windows wants me to go online to search for appropriate driver, but I can't get online via my broadband. BTW, I have the original disk that came with the computer, but the wizard does not seem to be able to find the appropriate software in there and I have no clue how to find it.
Note that my computer does recognize the fax modem on my computer, so that might be an option if 1) I can get free temporary dial up and 2) I knew where to connect.
In sum, I would think that what I need should be a) already on my computer, probably in the recovered file folder that was created automatically when I did the restore, b) on my restore disk or c) online somewhere, which I am assuming (hoping) the wizard would find if I can get a dial up connection.
