Hi All

I have a desk pc running win xp , which works fine opeing files etc.
But as soon as it is plugged into the network port the whole machine
comes to a grinding halt. This is a basic workgroup network over a ADSL
router.
When the laptop is plugged into the same port all is ok, so the problem
is on the desktop pc. Is it a bad nic and what can I use to test for
bad packets,error packets etc. Or what else can it be. Help will be
appreciated.

Thanks all

We have seen some computers work fine before they connect to the Internet or LAN. I am thinking the computer may have some spyware. Do virus and spyware scan first.
