I have all the necessary components, but it just doesn't work. It used to
work, but it stopped, and I haven't uninstalled anything since it was working.

I just would like my network to work.

What do you see in Network Properties? There are a number of menus and tabs
to check, but what is in the "Configuration" tab of the first menu you get
on properties. Mine shows these items, but your list should be different:

---------------------------------------------
|Configuration|Identification|Access Control|
-------------------------------

The following network components are installed:

Client for Microsoft Networks
Microsoft Family Logon
Dial-Up Adapter
HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter
LapLink USB Network Cable
TCP/IP - Dial-Up Adapter
TCP/IP - HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter
TCP/IP - LapLink USB Network Cable
USB-USB Network Bridge - Dial-Up Adapter
USB-USB Network Bridge - HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter
USB-USB Network Bridge - LapLink USB Network Cable
File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks

You should have, at the minimum for a network, the Ethernet adapter (likely
by a different manufacturer than HP), and the TCP/IP protocol bound to that
adapter. The fourth and sixth items in my list.
