Local Area Connection not found yet NIC installed

My system seems unable to find my NIC and thus the local area
connection icon is not displayed. The NIC is part of my mother board.
I called the manufactureer who had me run a dianostic that confirmed
the NIC isn't being seen. A tech is scheduled to come and replace the
mother board since the system is still under warranty.

I temporarily installed a new Linksys NIC as a stop gap until the
technician comes 7 days from now. The NIC installed yet the local area
connection icon is still missing. The Linksus card doesn't show under
Device manager either. I ran a PC Doctor dianostic and it found and
passed the Linksys NIC.

I am thinking this is an XP problem instead of hardware. However, I
have no idea how to trouble shoot it. The network connection was
working as of last night be zippo today. Over the past 3 weeks, I had
noticed intermittent problems getting a connection. I thought it was
my cable modem. That has since been ruled out since I swapped out a
new one with my ISP just yesterday.

System specs:
Compaq Presario SR1030NX
Win XP w/SP2 installed
AMD Althlon XP Processor (2.16GHz)
512 MB PC2700 RAM

Help?!?!

When Device Manager fails to see a device, and PC Doctor detect software
found the device, I would try the Add New Hardware wizard, specifically
adding the device, and driver.
