Network stops working

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

hi

I run Windows XP home edition. Ever since I want to Sp2 I have issues
where my network drops comletly, mostly the Intel Pro Wireless Lan 2100
3A mini PCI adapter but sometimes the Broadcome 440x 10/100
Integrated controller. The Icons show but Ipconfig is blank. On the
Intel card the whole tab for Windows Wireless networking is gone and the
Intel pro software will not load. I have updated to the latest drives
for these cards.
My fix so far has been to boot to safe mode, device manager, delete the
cards and let them reinstall. This can happen weekly. I have also tried
the netsh int ip reset c:\logfile and the netsh winsock reset as well. I
recently reinstalled SP2 but so far I cannot seem to get this stable.

Thanks

Will
