Windows XP nic problem

Hi all

This post is on the of my previous post " LAN card can't be detected"

The problem is that power saving feature of my nic is automatically turn on and then I need to reboot with power plugged in to claim the nic. My question is how can I turn off this option permanently? I see BIOS but I can't find proper option

Thanks for your help

Borrowed from a post Jaling left..."the Dell Latitude D630 has a power saving feature in one of the network interface control programs in control panel."....Failing that you could use regedit to turn it off..

Re : nic problem

It is right, but I don't know this key, Does anyone know the related registry key?

Open your device manager and locate your NIC and disable it from there..At the moment I can't quite remember the correct reg key..

Off the top of me head I can't remember it..... however.....
Unistall the management s/w for the nic/wifi
If needed reload the drivers for nic/wifi
With the management s/w uninstalled Device Manager's options take control
Disable powersaving for both devices in Device Manager.

If it don't work let me know

Dear JaLing
Because my Windows has some problems, I prefer to keep my drivers unchanged. Thanks a lot for your valuable notes very much
