Thanks for all your help with this guys, appreciate it. It may well be the mobo drivers that aquias suggested. CD's are all at my parent's - Doh!. bcaster - I've tried all links you provided but no success. I know it's not DHCP problem as I assigned a 192.168.x.x ip in range of router's dhcp...

...Although it has been running for pretty much 2 years A-OK.

Thanks but it's a ZPlus G250... some generic brand. I think it's the PC usb controller with issues... The whole is PC basically in a world of wrongness. Probably my own fault - it's a homebuilt system; all the components are the cheapest of the cheap. :/

(USB adapter not working - any usb input hangs the PC - I seriously needs those updates :P - will try downloading SP2 on my laptop and burning to CD) Repair option just leaves the repair 'dialog' perpetually on the screen. ipconfig /release works ok, /renew does pretty much the same as the...

Now also tried the Asound drivers, several. none work. All this just so i can do windows update... I have to do this all again when I take it back to my parents house and reinstall their USB cable modem! My housemate has a USB wireless adapter so i'm going to try that.

I've now tried 100/Half and 10/Half and assigning static IP 192.168.2.110 - no success. All other currently assigned IP's are: 192.168.1.1 (D-Link DSL-300T modem) 192.168.2.1 (Linksys WRT54G router) 192.168.2.100 (my PC - hardwired (router host)) 192.168.2.101 (other PC - wireless)...

Ok, I'll try altering speed and static IP when I get home and let you know. I just had a thought - I just let windows install the driver for the NIC - would it be worth gettinga specific driver? If I remember rightly I think it it an "Asound..." branded NIC. Thanks all for help so far. Dave

When I get home in about an hour I will try assigning a static IP, but the router has dhcp. Another note - when the cable is plugged into the laptop I can ping both the dsl modem (192.168.1.1) and the router (Linksys WRT54G - 192.168.2.1) absolutely fine. On the PC I get 'Host unavailable' for...

Thanks for your fast response. There is only 1 network connection and it isn't bridged.

Hi, I've just installed a fresh copy of XP on my parent's PC but for the life of me I cannot get the network going. The install all appeared fine. When Windows finally booted up I plugged the network cable in but no internet. With or without the cable plugged in, Network Places says 'Local...
