Hi, I have reinstalled Win XP Pro onto an existing PC. It should be a clean install, because I did a full disk re-format as part of the installation. It has installed SP1. The installation is OK, except I cannot connect to the LAN. There is a 1394 Connection which is "enabled" and "connected". However I cannot create a new LAN connection. I follow the "Create a New Connection" wizard, all looks fine, but when I reboot (as requested) there is no new connection. Other Windows & Linux machines on the same LAN work fine, using either DHCP or fixed IP address. I tested the PC itself by booting Linux from a CD - the LAN connection works fine therefore the hardware is all OK. The account I am using is an admin, with no password. The firewall appears to be off (although I can't find where you might change that). What should I do now ??? Thanks, -- Les Russell
I have re-posted this in Wondows XP Networking and Web. Apologies for any inconvenience
