networking problem

[Craig Hale]

Go to Control Panel>System>Hardware tab>Device Manager.
Click the plus beside Network adapters. Highlight
(select) your network card and delete. It there are two
cards listed, remove both of them. Then reboot. If your
card is PnP, Windows will re-detect your new card and you
should then be fine.

Regards,
Craig
