Microsoft Network Client

[Armando Camejo]

Hello,

I accidentally uninstalled my Windows network client on my XP Business
Laptop. I went to try to add it back in, but there are no options listed
under the client window...Does anyone have any idea where to add this back on?

I am not sure I understand the issue. However, if you remove the NIC and
re-install it, the client for Microsoft Network should be there.

I do remove the NIC card and have Vista pick it up again and install the
drivers, the client does not come back.

Not always... I found that out the hard way... I haven't done it in
Vista, though... In XP, I manually deleted everything related to that
hardware item in the registry and then re-enabled it and let PNP do
its work...

Thanks...That worked.
