Network Adapters
I just built my PC and got XP running on it. When I first got it running I got it running good and had the internet on it, then I moved it up into my room and got an ethernet cable running from my router to my PC. But now my PC doesn't recognize the Network Adapter and I can't get on the internet. There isn't even a Network Adapter option on the device manager. I don't understand.

Secondly, I have seen issues with some external CD-RW's where this would make the system recognize the device. Maybe they were hooking up the drive after bootup, but I don't think that was the case. If that doesn't fix it then....
I would remove the device from hardware manager. Reboot and go into the BIOS and disable the network device, save, and let windows boot all the way up. Reboot and go into the BIOS and enable the network device,save and let windows boot all the way up and check device manager....

Sometimes moving another card around or disabling other hardware and getting the NIC installed first will let them all get setup right. I have an asus with onboard sopund and everytime I reinstall lthe friggin sound makes me jump thru hoops to get it installed. You NIC problem is gonna be similiar
