Please specify your chipset and NIC model.

Do you have *any* unrecognized hardware in device manager ?

[nowinscenario]

Just a thought: Latest NVIDIA seems, of late, problematic at best for driver integration, especially for ethernet, and I don't no why: no matter what, I've found I almost always have to put the mainboard CD in post-install, even though I integrate all the drivers beforehand--I suspect order-of-integration issues that prevent full install during unattended builds. I've just come to accept this as fact of recent nForce MBs XP builds (whether, ultimately, it's an issue with new nForce chipsets themselves, or something else I take out that prevents the chipset full inegration--with respect to network--is a real good question ... Any ideas, Tux...?). Does everything install when you put in the mainboard CD?

Well first off there isnt any unrecognized hardware in device manager. My Chipset is Nforce 4 (just standard not ultra or sli) with the integrated nforce ethernet.

Second, there is nothing wrong with it because it just inserted my old ide hard drive and it still picks up the ethernet. Therefore something is up with my preset - which im trying to figure out.

Yes everything installed when I put in the mainboard CD.
