Right well heres the sequence of events....
My xp install has been becoming increasingly unstable so i decided to do a quick reinstall tonight.
Found all the most up to date driver files etc... backed up all my bits and bobs off main partition, then proceeded to re-install xp thru the bootable cd.
Gets through to windows fine in the end, but then i cant get my computer to communicate with my router - which was working not 30 minutes previously.... My housemates computers still work fone, but i cannot get access to the LAN or internet conection. Tried the normal wizard procedures and checked all the settings that can mess things up, to no avail. Went back and re-installed xp again and this time didnt install any firewalls or antivirus before trying to get the network to work, and still nothing At this point i am a bit more concerned, i have a lot of coursework to do and no pc :S
If anyone can give me any clues as to what might have gone wrong i would be very appreciatve!
My pc is the following:
Athlon 2800xp
MSI KT600 FISR mobo - with on board gigabit lan
512 meg 3200ddr
ati 9600 pro
maxtor 120gig drive and a fujitsu 40 gig drive
im running xp pro, with what was sp1a befor reinstall, which worked fine.
I have tried both my old and newer ethernaet drivers, from the cd i got with the mobo and also the ones from msi website.
Please someone help me!
