Network Card under WIN-XP (service pack 1)
installed.
I know only from what I've been told about this. The OS was
in the meantime fresh installed. But I'd like to know if
there would have been a easier method (less time-consuming
as well) to solve the situation.
The NIC is connected via *CABLE* to a router, and it gets
its IP-Address via DHCP. All of this was correct, still
the NIC would /NOT/ connect to the router. Other PCs
connected to the same router could get Internet access.
After reinstalling the OS the NIC works as it should.
If the user had removed the NIC and all the protocols
associated with it, rebooted the PC without it installed,
and then refitted the PC with the NIC would XP have
automatically found it, and installed the protocols and
driver? So that the user could have manually configured it
to use DHCP? Or is DHCP the *default* on Win-XP?
