Hey,

I just installed win XP Pro on my computer everything was working great but then I realized that I have no connection in the Network Connection Settings. So I checked the Device manager and no network card is showing. so i tried to force the issue with the add new hardware. after the wizard finishs i get the error on the top.
Any thoughts?
the ethernet card is intergrated on the MB

This might sound obvious but did you install the driver from the CD included with the motherboard?

make sure you installed motherboard drivers and enabled your ethernet in bios.
what version XP sp1 or sp2? or other???

you didnt post specs so its hard for anyone to reply

all the drivers are installed
It does not even show up in the BIos
I tried updaying it with no success,
I Have XP SP2
But now I think about it, seeing has how it is not in the BIOS then there is something wrong with the ethernet port itself. All the USBs and Audio ports work
