Unless you are connecting to a Novell Network, you don't want IPX/SPX so
should uninstall it. Unless you need IPv6, you should also uninstall
that. You only need:

Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing For Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler (optional)
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Frankly, I'm having a hard time visualizing what's going on with your
computer. Once again, are you following these steps from the MS
article?

Reinstall TCP/IP on a Windows XP-based computer
In Windows XP, the TCP/IP stack is a core component of the operating
system. Therefore, you cannot remove TCP/IP in Windows XP.
1. Install TCP/IP on top of itself. To do this, follow these steps:
a. In Control Panel, double-click Network Connections, right-click
Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
b. Click Install.
c. Click Protocol, and then click Add.
d. Click Have Disk.
e. In the Copy manufacturer's files from box, type System_Drive_Letter
\windows\inf, and then click OK.
f. In the list of available protocols, click Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP), and then click OK.
2. Restart your computer.

The Local Area Connection to which the article refers is the one for
your network adapter card - the one that you seem to be having such a
difficult time installing. Does this ethernet card show up in Device
Manager?
