Problem with network connectivity - Annuit Coeptis - 07-16-2011

I just reinstalled xp on an old computer I had and I want to connect the computer to my home network and to the internet but for some reason I can't.

I have tried nearly everything to get it to work and I can't figure it out.
When I type "ipconfig /all" into cmd it just returns the message: Windows XP IP configuration. It doesn't display any of the usual information. This tells me that my computer doesn't even seem able to connect to any sort of connection.

It is a desktop pc. Nothing happens when I plug it into my router via ethernet. I am all out of ideas and am really frustrated with this thing. I cannot get it to work at all. Please help

I think I have narrowed the problem down to getting the right drivers for my ethernet controller, but I cannot find the drivers for it on the internet.

My ethernet controller has the following IDs:
Compatable IDs:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0066&REV_A1
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0066
PCI\VEN_10DE&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_100E&CC_0200
PCI\VEN_100E
PCI\CC_020000
PCI\CC_0200
