Re: NETWORK ADAPTER FAILED ERROR CODE 65

[Tanya]

Are you using the ISP software? XP has PPPoE and you can make a connection
through the internet connection wizard, without all their junk. Did you
upgrade or clean install XP?

I agree with RoadRunner. Every case of Error 65 that I've seen has
been caused by a firewall program.

If you've already un-installed a firewall:

1. Re-install it.

2. Un-install it using the un-install procedure provided by the
manufacturer of the firewall.

3. Go to Start | Run | Msconfig | Startup and disable any remnants of
the firewall.

In my experience, it can be hard to completely remove McAfee software
from your computer. You might need to contact McAfee for help.
