Ok the first think you need to do is go into your device manager and see if your network devices are being detected correctly. If they arn't you are going to need to reference your laptop's manufacturer's homepage to get the correct driver for your network device. Get this onto a pen drive or something on another computer and get it installed on your laptop. As soon as you get your network device detected correctly in device manager you can start working with windows to configure your network.
The one question I have for you is you said it is a 1394 Network... that is a firewire connection... but then you said you tried a wireless card... I am a little confused with this, if you could clear this up that would help me diagnose and help you more. The one thing is that your firewire port on your computer will show up as a 1394 connection in your Network Connections which might have confused you...
