I just reinstalled XP Pro (clean install) on a home-built 4-yr-old box. 1 G of RAM, 2 hard drives, AMD processor.
When I reboot, there is no network connection (cable modem, router). I go to the Device Manager, uninstall the NIC, search for hardware changes, and XP reinstalls the NIC. Everything is fine until I reboot. I've tried reinstalling the driver, rolling back the driver and nothing seems to change this. The NIC is a Asound PCI 10/1000.
I had this same problem a couple of years ago and finally cured it -- but I cannot remember exactly what I did.
What am I doing wrong?
