Wireless drivers maybe
I noticed a bunch of threads about shit not working after you installed your friends windows
Make sure you've got all the essential drivers ready

burn them on a cd but make sure the dvdrom is responsive which it usually is.
the wireless adapter driver is key since once you get that you can download the rest of the not-so-essential drivers that impart some functionality to your system.
But im not very good with computers. I am good at making them crash 
Apart from the online connectivity problem how is the computer functioning in general. You've sorted out the videocard etc setup right?
