Why is this happening? Yesterday, everything was working fine, but my network connection did drop after an hour or so. I rebooted my computer, connected to the internet, was dropped again about an hour later. I figured it might be a vvirus, so I reloaded the operating system (Win XP). But after I started the computer, I couldnt see the Add n ework connection icon under NETWORK Connections. I tried the Network configuration wizard. It said "Cannot detect network hardware'. I tried 'ipconfig' under the MSDOS prompt, but got nothing. Why is the computer suddenly refusing to see my network card, and how can I fix it so that I can get on the internet?
