Hi,

Just do a reinstall of XP, then let me know what you have in device
manager, specificly if you have an "other devices" category and what is
in there.

Hi Andrew,

The mobo is an intel d875pbz.

There does not seem to be an active network device in device manager.

There is one reference to a connection which it calls 1934 but there is
no information displayed on this connection.

If I look in device manager on my win 2k drive which works correctly,
the intel network drivers are mentioned.

I am wondering whether to start again with the xp installation, if I do
this, do I let xp find a driver and not install the intel stuff or go
ahead and install the intel drivers?

Also, one other point, the first time I opened internet explorer, I was
asked to set up the connection.  I presume I select the always on with
no password required?

I am connecting to plusnet via the vigor 2600.

I was a bit confused with this as there were two similar choices?

thanks
