I am assuming that you were able to boot up to Windows XP.

I think that you have not yet installed the drivers for your ethernet network adapter. Based on Gateway's support website, your computer may have either an Intel/Pro 1000MT or an Intel/Pro 100VE. I suggest getting the latest drivers from Intel.
