Hello all,

I would like to describe a very strange matter I experienced recently.
First my configuration:
- OS: Windows XP SP1; 2 instances on C: and I:
- Asus Mobo
- P4 2.8
- 1 Gb memory
- onboard Broadcom lan adapter; plugged to Internet modem
- 3com lan card; plugged to laptop
- the onboard and the 3com adapters are in bridge (XP)

Always functioned good.

Until I started XP one day (recently)
The Onboard lan port reported "cable unplugged".
Whatever I tried, I could not get it back to work.
I tried all the obvious; driver renewal, removed driver, also from
BIOS etc
Also tried other cables etc. No success.
Also the other XP instance doesn't work; even restore didn't repair
it.

BUT: when I started the computer with the BartPE CDROM; that's a
booting CDROM that makes XP running from it; no HD required.
Look at (http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/).
When I choose to start network support; message "installing network
components"; apllying settings and THERE it worked. I already could
tell because of the light that went on on the port of the adapter. I
could internet and all with it.
What could be wrong?

Anyone can help me with that??

Thanks!

If you could read, it's not
BOTH XP installations acting the same. The restore to the moment when
it was working allright is NOT working.
