I have a USB cable modem installed, which is currently
working fine, and until I installed SP2, I also had a LAN
connection using a standard 10/100 NIC to my home
network. Now that I've installed SP2, the NIC and the LAN
connection have disappeared. I can't find any mention of
the NIC in device manager or anywhere else, and I can't
reinstall it. It's as if SP2 magically removed my NIC,
but it's still properly connected to the motherboard, and
lights are flashing like normal. The weird thing is, I
can still access shared folders on another computer, but
the other computer can't see this computer at all. When I
attempt to create a new LAN connection, windows complains
because it can't find the NIC anymore and tells me I need
to have a network before I can set one up. Anyone got any
ideas about this ?
Thanks
