Default How to change LAN settings in windows XP?

I just formatted my C drive due to virus. After installing windows, when it
asks the type of connection i'll be using I gave DSL/Cable by mistake,
instead of LAN. Is there anyway to change it now, without re-installing
Windows again?

Please help! thanks in advance!

Just delete the connection and create a new one. You can run the New
Connection Wizard, it can be found in All Programs Accessories
Communication or you can run this in the Start Menu Run box:


%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe netshell.dll,StartNCW
