No network, this is my home machine. When I tried removing the PPoE bindings, the whole thing died on me. For now it works, and I'll address SQL Server one day soon.

I'll take a wild stab that it was your DSL software that caused the problem... but even on a Self Installation why would you need to use the CD, I mean it's a standard network connection from the Nic to the Modem. I wonder if you could just go in and remove any of the bindings with PPPoE and everything might work after that... tho I'd make a full system backup before messing w/ your network configuration...
