I'm re-installing Windows again, I think I've reached the limit of what I can do from inside the current install of the OS.

Still nothing on either front. Re-installed Windows, and I still get the Code 34 error on the graphics card, and no internet.
I do not understand this one bit.
Was it connecting at the lady's house? Try an ethernet cable plugged into modem. Win7 should have that driver in the installer or DriverStore. Make sure you followed the steps for handling drivers in Win7 given in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
If not you'll need to find the correct driver for your network device, on the maker's Support Downloads webpage or by tracing it if necessary using Hardware Identification.
Once you get online Win7 will deliver a driver for your display card that it wants.
My modem/router are one unit. And yes, it was connecting via ethernet previously at the customer's house.
Is your router DHCP-enabled and handing out IPs automatically to computers on your LAN? And is Windows picking that DHCP info up and automatically configuring IP and other such settings appropriately? Or are you manually setting up the networking settings for each computer?
Sounds to me like Windows sees and can use your NIC, it just doesn't have a clue what your network settings are OR the info Windows does have is incorrect.
Tech support for your gateway is included in your monthly DSL bill so I'd have them figure out why it won't connect. This is all automated in Win7 but if settings have been jimmied on the gateway then even a fully automated OS might not be able to connect.
90% of users are online after install if plugged in by wire. The other 9.99% only need to provide the driver.
