I suggest you disconnect the Vonage phone and do a complete Reset of your
wireless router and then try again after setting the router up again.
Was the computer directly to the router or was it using wireless also?

No, the recovery process did not work. It reinstalls, but still gives me
an error with lsass.exe. I called HP, and they said I needed the CDs
which cost $30 to continue.
I got curious and decided to install Vista, which I got from a trade
show.

As it turns out, if I disconnect my Linksys Wireless G router and plug the
Motorola network (provided by Comcast) modem directly into the computer,
then recycle the power on the modem, the network is found. Great as long
as I don't want to use the wireless or the Vonage phone in my house.

Why were you unable to recover/reinstall the original XP OS? Didn't the
system come with a recovery partition and instructions on how to
reinstall the OS and on how to back up the recovery partition?

BTW this all worked under XP before virus hit.
Also, the network connector works under Ubanto Linux
